What do you do when you forget your iphone passcode?

I forgot my iphone passcode i was wondering how do you get that passcode?

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.

What if you lost your iphone and can't remember the icloud account because the phone was previously your boyfriends?

What if you lost your iPhone 5c and forgot the Apple ID because it was your boyfriends old ID, what then?

I cannot speak for either, but Apple does not get involved in tracing stolen phones. If "Find my iPhone" cannot be used, there is no other way of tracing the phone. Sorry.

What if you forget your user name AND password?

Hello:
We have several user names and passwords in our family all connected to different devices. We have one account that we use for audiobooks only. We had to delete the programs off the laptop and reinstall and now we can't remember the user name or password. I have a good idea of what the user name is, I emailed Apple help with it and asked them if they could help me reset the password. One of the problems is that I am not honest with verification questions like birthdate for privacy and security. This isn't helpful when they want my birthdate to get beyond the security check point and I didn't write down the lie entered.
We have several hundred dollars of books in that account. I can't even remember which email address we linked the account to.
I'm hoping that maybe Apple can help if we get them the serial number of the device?
Suggestions?

Hello,
I do not have such a problem, because I had a very helpful idea. At the moment, I am usinig two User, an Admin and a User. You would not have such a problem, if you follow this instruction:
1. Make an Admin and an Useraccount.
2. Ceep both Users with keywords.
3. Hide the Ode of the Adminaccount, where you would never lose him.
4. Use the normal User.
5. If you would forget your keyword, put out the keyword of the Adminaccount and reset the keyword of the other user.

HT1212 What if you forget your passcode?

My daughter set a passcode on her iPod touch, and apparently can't remember it correctly. Is there a way to unlock the disabled device other than restoring from a backup?

No.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

What is the url when you forget your password?

What is the url that needs to be entered when you forget your password to retrieve it?

Can I just point out the obvious? (Well, it is to me at any rate!)
If there was a URL that "needs to be entered" (I assume you mean a URL to be visited), in order to retrieve your password when you forget it, wouldn't that enable those people you know and wish to prevent getting in to your iPod (which - presumably, is why you put the password on it) to go to that same URL, get your password and use it to get into your Touch?
Or is it me?

What do i do when you forget your lockscreen password

What do i do when i forget my lockscreen password for my ipod?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
