  • HT4865 if I forgot my screen lock out password how can I get into my ipod

    I forgot my screen lock out pass code on my ipod can i get into it??

    Back it up and restore it using iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  At the end of the restore process, when the iPod restarts and reappears in iTunes you will be given the option to restore to the backup you made at the beginning.  When it finishes, the passcode will be removed.
    This will only work if you have previously synced with iTunes after setting the passcode on your device.

    i forgot my phone lock code, how do i recover it so im not locked out permanently

    You'll have to wipe it out and restore from backup to recover, that'll reset the code but you'll lose any data since your last sync.

    You can turn Find My iPad 'off' by going to http://icloud.com and logging into your account, select the iPad from the device list in the 'Find My iPhone' section on that site, and 'remove from account'

  • Seriously Screwed All Bcus a Screen Lock Code

    I changed my screen lock code and went to change it but realised i had forgotten it. Went down to the computer to find what to do and it said restore. Thats all fine and good so i updated my itunes like it said but now the USB port wont recognise my iPod for me to restore it..What do i do?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • Changing Screen Lock Code

    Having bought a used 5th Gen iPod from a store I discover that it already has a screen lock code set. Neither myself nor the store know what the existing code is for me to enter and thereby change the code.
    Is there a way around this? Does a full restore also restore the code to factory settings so I can start anew?

    Thank you, I did a restore anyway to solve other problems, but as it is still reloading the iTunes library I have yet to discover what happened to that code.

    As simple as it sounds, I forgot the code to my screen lock, and I'd like to be able to use this feature, but I cannot create a new code until I submit the old (forgotten) one.
    Is there any way around this?

    Connect the iPod to your computer with your iTunes library that you normally sync with, and it will unlock.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
