What is screen lock?

i have a big problem: i just got my iPod and didn't know the menu...so i clicked on "screen lock". and after that i couldn't get on my menu because i had to enter a 4 no. combination that of course i DON'T KNOW!!!
please help !!!! i can't do anything with my iPod!!!!

If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like:

    Thank you. 
    Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined?  I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated.

    Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to display your Control Panel. You will see the Orientation Lock icon in the top right. Tap on this to toggle Orientation Lock on or off.

  • What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    What is the screen lock default code for iPod nano 5th gen?

    There isn't one.  You'll need to connect the Nano to your iTunes library and restore to factory settings.  There is no other way.

  • Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone.  I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
    I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
    I hope someone has a fix other than that one.

  • What is a locked padlock start up screen asking for?

    What is a locked padlock start up screen asking for?

    Thanks for your isn't seven one
    I took it into Logosystem in Greenwich where it would seem o be in intensive care awaiting a possible firmware download.
    The story so far.
    Following a download of Mavericks into my iMac 24"circa 2007 I tried to et up an iCloud net work involving five Apple devices but unfortunately made a cup but try as I might could not get out of it.
    In desperation I tried Command S and this threw up a large black padlock log in the middle of the screen.
    At this point I recognised my limitations and deferred to Apple Bluewater.
    They did a few checks and advised that a serious layer of security had been installed and because m Mac was six year
    old I would have t refer to a Premium Service Provider to have firmware and the administrators password reset.
    Any thought on how I managed to lay down this layer of security.

  • How do i get my ipod 5 unlock? i cant get past the home screen lock (home screen lock is what i need unlocked) plz help

    how do i get my ipod 5 unlocked from the homescreen? plz help

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

  • How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

    How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

    You don't.
    If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
    The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
    On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

  • Can't remove the screen lock by PIN and can't use the screen to receive calls

    Hello, I have a brand new SONY Xperia , Model Number D5803, Android version 5.0.2. , Baseband version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00063-42, Kernel version 8974-perf-g3f600d1. , Build number 23.2.A.1.62.
    I set a screen lock by PIN. However when I receive calls I can’t take them, because the screen in locked.
    I tried to turn off the screen lock, but when I select the “ Screen lock” menu and after entering the correct PIN, the following items are not active “None”, “Slide” and “Pattern” . So I can't select  “None”
    The only active items are “PIN” and “Password” .
    Please advice how to remove the screen lock by PIN. I hope this will help to be able to receive calls.
    Thank you

    To enable None and Swipe options, you need to go to Settings -> Security -> Clear credentials. Then those options will become active again.
    However, you should be able to take calls even when you have PIN security, can you describe what shows on the screen when you have an incoming call while screen is locked?

  • Screen locked - again, how do I fix it?

    My IPAD 3rd gen screen locked again today - I had the same issue a couple of days ago and got it fixed with help of tech support.....had to do full wipe and reset using variety of actions - with help of phone support... so, before I report this issue again is there anyone out there experiencing this issue? Is it a known issue? and what is the solution? thanks

    Since you had the problem previously I'd go back to Apple support. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your iPad?

  • No screen lock with os4 !! reminds me of htc tilt !!!

    i have a major issue with the new software 4.0 seems they left out the screen lock option by pressing power button to lock the screen i always either hang up , put on hold or open a app while talking !! I'm very disappointed with apple i have many products and several phones at the price we are PAYING i would expect a better product

    I'm not sure what is "ridiculous".
    When on a call using the iPhone's earpiece - holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call, the iPhone includes a proximity sensor to automatically turn the screen off or lock the screen when doing so - there is no need to press the sleep/wake button while holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call. When pulling the iPhone away from your ear and face during a call to look at the screen and to use the iPhone for something else during the call or to hang up the call, etc., the screen turns back on. This is done automatically.

    Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
    It's not possible with Windows Phone 8.  What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.
