He wouldnt tell me the password and since he went to mexico to visit cousins he wont come back till October. What shall i do? I wanna unlock it. Somebody please help me. Thanks in advance.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I lost my iPhone and so put it on lost mode. There I changed the password. Found it yesterday but was unable to unlock it. It is set on my apple id and everything.

Find My iPhone only keeps a history of locations after you put it in lost mode. It also has to be online to provide an updated location.

Suddenly "lost mode" enabled in my iphone. I forgot my 4 digit password. Is there any way to get out of this problem? What should i do now? How can i disable it?

Please help!! I forgot my password and now i can't access to my iphone. How can i disable the "lost mode" and how can i fix this problem?

You will need to restore your iPhone from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

It can still connect to Wifi in Lost Mode. As long as you do not erase it, you will be able to track it via Find My iPhone. And even if you erase it, the Activation Lock will prevent the thief from ever being able to use it:
ACTIVATION LOCK
Hope you get it back!

Is there anyway to reset a "lost mode" password?

I used a password in lost mode then found my phone. Phone was lost again and now I cannot add a new password to place it back into lost mode..

That depends entirely on what you were using to write the letter. Since you didn't mention that, there's no way anyone can answer.
For the most part if you're using an application on your machine (e.g. a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Pages, or even an email application such as Mail) then it doesn't matter whether you have an internet connection or not. That leads me to believe you were likely using an online application, in which case you really have to state which one so that someone who's familiar with the site can chime in.

How can i unlock my iphone 5s recently on lost mode?

How can i unlock my iphone 5s which i recently put on lost mode?

Hi Sharon,
To get your iPhone out of Lost mode, you will need to use the information in this article -
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Specifically -
Stop Lost Mode or change your contact info
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device that’s in Lost Mode.
Click Lost Mode, then change the information or click Stop Lost Mode.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Ios7 find my phone lost mode no longer lets you set a new passcode to unlock

Prior to ios7, through iCloud and Find My Phone, I could turn on Lost Mode and it prompted for an unlock code. Now, it no longer asks for a new code, just a phone number to show in a prompt on the locked phone. This is a hole.
So, what if a friend or stranger knows or sees me unlock my phone on a regular basis, but then later steels it? Now I turn on Lost Mode, but since they know the normal lock screen 4 digit code, they have the phone and can unlock it from Lost Mode.
That isn't safe, and is a step backwards from the previous Lost Mode options.
Take this to another level, my child has a phone and has been abusing it... I want to lock it. Now I can't!!!!!!!

I found the same Jeff.
This infuriates me!
That was one of the draws for me to buy 5 iPhones for my entire family, one platform to support and the ability to know where everyone is.
I really wish they would re-consider and bring this back.
If not, I would be willing to pay for an app to allow me to use the locate feature.

Changing iCloud password before enabling lost mode

Hi!
I recently lost my iPhone, and the first thing I did was to change my iCloud password.
However, after that I realized that there is a lost mode that you can enable remotely, and now I activated the lost mode to lock the screen and display a message.
My question is, since the device now couldn't log in to my iCloud account because I changed the password, will the lost mode work?
Thank you very much

No.

4S stolen, put in lost mode and locked.....police found, 2 plus hours later and 2 apple care, no luck, said need genius bar, ok, sad, i just want to unlock so I can use I have all passcodes, this should be so easy, but

How do I unlock phone now that it is found and returned.....I had it in find my phone and locked?

See if the information in this support document helps. iCloud: Use Lost Mode You should be able to unlock it with your passcode unless you entered a new one.

Lost Mode won't unlock!

I put my iPhone 5S into lost mode (bad idea) to see how the feature worked, and now I can't unlock the phone - even if I type in my passcode (which I KNOW is correct). I even "stopped" lost mode via iCloud.com a couple different times, but my passcode stil isn't accepted. Why is it not taking my passcode??

I resolved the issue. After launching from Macintosh HD, I held down Shift, and then it prompted me for my PIN, which was the same as the code I entered on Find My iPhone, and then it relaunched and let me log in. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it seems very inconvenient and not intuitive if it's intended.

How to unlock iphone 5 from lost mode

i lost signal on my phone and when i switched it of and then back on it came up with the message that it was in lost mode

You can turn off lost mode on iCloud.com. See "stop lost mode" here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

Lost Mode - useless when Location disabled, even online ?

   Hi,
   My iPhone was stolen by a (not so close) friend !
   I went last week to a party. Only close and casual friends. At some point we talked and compared some apps between our
phones, I locked/unlocked mine several times, in front of the others, they did the same. However, after some time, everyone of us has been engaged in other activities
   At some point I received a call on my other iPhone, and I went outside to be able to understand each other, because it was a pretty loud party ;-)
   Anyway, I left my primary iPhone (for business) on the table.
   When I came back, surprise, my iPhone was missing. Naturally, I suspected a joke or a prank for one of my closest friends. To not embarrass myself, I just tried to use Find my iPhone and see the state of the missing device.
It was Offline, probably the thief turned it off. I think it was one of us which, when playing around with apps, he saw my LockScreen code when I tapped it to unlock the phone.
I left the party. after a while, I tried again Find my iPhone.
Surprise again ! The iPhone was Online but Location Services Off. I tried to put it in Lost mode, but without phone number and
message, just to locate, not to alarm the thief. Result was the same, "Online. Location Services Off "
After one day, no matter how many times I tried, the thief (probably knowing that I have unlimited plan) continued to use my phone and it appears the same, "Online. No Location Available" (on iCloud, on Web Browser window) and "Online. Location Services Off" on Find my iPhone app , on my other iPhone.
My business phone was iPhone 4S, with iOS 6.1.6 (last iOS 6 update). I didn't upgraded iOS on this one because I needed a quicker response when I receive important calls or updates, mail documents etc. And, indeed , it worked like a charm !
So not being able to locate and get back my iPhone, I was forced to erase it (at least I hope it was erased OK). As a result, I couldn't locate it anymore.
Thanks God I had nothing compromising, or business sensitive on that phone! I changed, anyway, all my mail passwords, deleted from iCloud all my reminders and notes etc. Good Bye, good old iPhone !
   I have to mention again, I have unlimited plan, voice and data traffic, so I was not afraid of higher payments, but I thought I should go to the telephone company and request a detailed list of calls after I lost it, maybe I could find a clue, with police help, of course. But I initially thought and trust it would be a breeze to find my iPhone with iCloud, Find my iPhone, Data Roaming, unlimited data traffic if, eventually, it would be lost.
   And I'm absolutely sure I have all of these services active, all my iDevices have the same security settings.
   But, to be absolutely sure, I tried the same thing on my other (personal, non business) phone. iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.1, this time.
   So I double-checked all security settings I could and deactivated only Location Services, from Privacy.
   Results were absolutely identical ! Even in Lost Mode, my only left iPhone was impossible to be found via iCloud (Web Browser) or from my iPad, no matter how many times and what I tried, after switching off Location Services (again, GSM/3G/Cellular/EU Internet - active - unlimited data plan), Data Roaming On, WIFI On, only Location Services disabled from Privacy settings.
( My only big mistake, I think, was to reveal and use my Lockscreen code in front of my friends. But I thought we are all friends, why wouldn't ?)
I tried even to put my iPhone outside to have a clear view to satellites for GPS. No change !
And a major issue (or forgotten maybe, extremely simple feature) is still to not being able to change Lock screen
code/Password, once it was set already no matter what iOS is installed (6-7-8...)
So, the big Question remains the same. What is the (REAL) utility of Find my iPhone app/Service, when, just switching
off Location Services, even Lost Mode can't remotely enable it ? Contrary to what Apple claims.
What should I do in the future to avoid a similar situation ? What I missed/messed ?
Please help me to understand, anyone who can help me and really knows what he/she's talking about. I'm sick of suppositions, and neverending questions/ideas off topic.
Thank you !
Below are some pictures taken during testing Lost Mode on my only (now) iPhone:
Started "Find my iPhone" on Web Browser, I switched off Location Services on my iPhone :
Until now, everything's OK, as expected.
As advertised, Lost Mode rest assures us that will enable (temporary) Location Services, until unlocking:
To be sure it's a working data link, I tested "Play Sound", worked OK, then entered a number and message for testing purpose
Starting/activating Lost Mode...
Lost Mode activated with success, Location Services not. Still, my iPhone locked and displays 1234 call
and the message "This iPhone has been lost. Please call me".
I even put my iPhone outside, under clear sky, for 15 minutes, still nothing new on iCloud.
Of course, after unlocking my phone (Lost mode deactivated automatically), but still nothing (normal, in this case, without Lost Mode) and turning back ON Location Services, my iPhone was magically found . I even received a notice on mail, claiming my iPhone was found near my actual position
Here are my screenshots with my iPhone with all data services on, being locked on purpose.
So, what's wrong with Lost Mode, why it doesn't do what it should ? What I'm doing wrong ??
Please help me understand. Thank you !
P.S. I found yesterday that my phone was bought by someone identified by the police. They asked me what I want to do. I asked buyer's name, it's nobody I know, I let him in peace, no further complains. I moved on...     but disappointed by claimed features in iPhone (regardless iOS 6-8) which are not working at all
(at least for me)...
P.P.S I had to remove some pictures (warned when trying to post - to many images)

It shouldn't work like that.
Apple says contrary, even when you press Lost Mode, the following message appears :
"Lost mode enables Location Services. Find my iPhone and other apps will be able tu use the location of this iPhone until it's unlocked".
Pretty clear to me and tested but No Location detected by Find my iPhone/iCloud. At the other hand, if you looked at the pictures I posted, you'll see on my testing iPhone the little arrow which indicates the Location Services were started in Lost Mode. Just not detected in iCloud/Find my iPhone/Lost Mode. So, useless or not functioning properly (at all, in fact). Why ?
And, from the Apple support page (the link is below)
"If your device is online when you put it in Lost Mode or lock it, it locks and tracking begins (if applicable). If Location Services is turned off on the device, it’s temporarily turned on to track your device’s location."
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
And they claims the same for ALL iOS last versions since iOS 6 (since they introduced Lost Mode)
And yes, my phone which I still have, and the lost one, were both Online, so it could transmit location data, during Lost Mode, just it doesn't happens.
