What do I do if my Passcode to use my iPhone 5 doesn't work?

Went to use my iPhone 5 this morning. Put in my Passcode and the screen didn't melt into my Home page. Turned the phone off. Turned it back on in a minute same thing. No message about the wrong code. The dots appear as it put in the code and then it's as if the screen freezes. Any suggestions ?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    I would attempt a reset. This is done by holding both the powerbutton and the home button for about 10 seconds for it to restart.
    When it boots back up, test the issue. If the issue persists, I would then recommend a restore through iTunes on a computer, set up as new, and test again. If it's now working, i'd recommend to restore from your last back up see if it resolved your issue.
    Hopefully the first reset solves it, in most cases it does.

    Contacts and Calendar entries should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service if using the device as designed.
    Pictures/Videos taken with the device should be copied to the computer regularly, if using the device as designed.
    All media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    All apps should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    There may be some lost data from apps such as game status, but would you prefer to maintain that data or have a functional device?
    If the issue turns out to be hardware, it is possible to later restore from backup to get put the device back to the same functional state once the hardware is replaced.

  • Hi, i bought an iphone 5s online, but it is icloud locked and the account owner forget the password and now i cant use it, it ask me everytime the password to activate iphone. what i have to do to start to use my iphone?

    what i have to do to unlock my iphone? i try to restore it with DFU mode but it doesn t work . the phone ask me everytime the password :(

    Hello vlady1994,
    It sounds like you purchased an iPhone from an independant party online and you are running into the Activation lock asking for the original owners Apple ID password. The original owner will have to first reset their account password:
    Apple ID: Changing your password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
    Then they will need to remove the device from their account with this article:
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
    See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
    there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap

  • What am I to do when the home button and lock button doesn't work on ipod Touch?

    On clicking the buttons nothing happens...neither does it lock nor does it go to the home page...the screen is also not timing out....

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes keeps freezing no matter what I try. No that it controls all my music, and doesn't work, what am I supposed to do?

    It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
    I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
    Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
