Upgrading to latest iOS enabled the password control on my iPad, except I never set a password.

Upgrading to latest iOS enabled the password control on my iPad, except I never set a password. I tried 0000, which worked when this happened on my kid's iPad, but it didn't work. Am I totally locked out?

I know about the instructions to wipe my iPad and restore it. Just REALLY wanted to avoid doing it.
What I don't understand is WHY the passcode function was enabled when I NEVER set a passcode. I had passcode functionality TURNED OFF on both our iPads. When I set the iOS update to run (then went to bed) it should have SKIPPED setting a passcode during the update... since I never typed one in.
Like I said, using 0000 opened my kid's iPad after the iOS update. (thankfully!) But then I tried it on mine it got locked out.
Can't figure why the iOS update turned it on and has now set some random password that I could never know.

  • HT1766 it is asking me for a Back up password to restore my phone? i never set a password.. help?

    I have never put a password in for back up and now it  is asking me for one to restore to last back up.... so annoying? help?

    Well, you or someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your backup, & then enter the password not once, but twice. If you have an Exchange account on your phone, the requirement to encrypt your backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.
    So, do you have an Exchane account? If not:
    If on a Mac, and you elected to save such to your Keychain, you can recover it from your Keychain. Otherwise, you can't.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

  • TS3899 After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
    Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

  • Is there a workaround for Facetime Apr 16th issue than upgrading to latest IOs ??

    Hi,
    I have IPad2 and I am facing the Facetime issue due to certificate expiry on Apr 16 as reported by Apple.
    I dont want to upgrade to latest IOS because I think it would slow down the performance and ruin a good working IPad just to resolve this issue.
    Is Apple going to provide some other alternative and/or fix the issue rather than forcing people to upgrade?

    Folks choices are to either update or move to a different app such as skype or some other video chat program.

  • After upgrading to latest IOS while playing games screen is flickering

    While playing games screen is flickering after upgrading to latest IOS.

    I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
    Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
    That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
    You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
    Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?

    i have i phone 3gs, it hangs while operating also upgrade to latest iOS fails ............. please help

    Your iphone has been hacked and was locked back to the rightful carrier when updated.
    ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can legally/legitimately unlock an iphone.
    Your "brother from New Dehli" hacked the iphone.
    Hacked iphones cannot be discussed here.  It also voids the warraanty.

    Use rc4, w which is a less secure encryption option. If this meets your security needs, then you may use it as follows:
    webvpn gatew ay gatew ay name
    ssl encryption rc4-md5
    no inservice

  • I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

    To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
    Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
    To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
    It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

  • My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

    My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

    When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.
