How to reset an iphone 4s if i don't know the password?
Yesterday i was on a hike and i found an iPhone 4s on the trail. I didn't take it at first but then when i walked back that was 2 hours later it was still there so i took it. How do i restore it to its original settings and delete all the data on it now since i don't have the password?
If it's password protected there's no real getting around it unless you take it to the iTunes store, but I wouldn't explain the finding it and taking it part, just say that you need to reset it. I'm not sure it'll work because they'll probably ask for the account that goes with the iPhone.
If you already have itunes on your computer and plug the iphone into the computer, it should say that it detect an unsynced device. (or something like that) it will ask you if you would like to sync it to your itunes. After you sync it, you can go use itunes to select the device and format or restore to factory settings. This will erase al the data on the phones storage device and will disable the password.
Return it to apple… It will be useless once its reported lost or stolen.
if you need a unlocked iphone 4s, email me i have a few for sale or trade.
If you want to erase everything and start from scratch you can plug the phone into itunes and put it into DFU mode. Itunes will then be able to restore the phone to its factory settings.
To get into DFU, hold the power and home keys down together until the iphone turns off. It takes about 5 seconds and the screen will turn off. Wait 2 seconds and then release the power button, keeping the home button pressed down. Itunes will tell you that you have a phone in restore mode, which isn't actually true, but it doesn't matter. Follow the instructions to restore and the phone will be back to stock.
Thank you relaxification - this worked or me on an iphone6
I have an iphone 4s, I let someone use it and now I don't know the password they put on after giving it back, they won't give it to me, it only says iphone disabled, slide for emergency call, I tried the plug in and put into recovery mode on iTunes, but I keep getting an error message saying they can't access it because there's a passcode, enter it on the iphone first, well there isn't even a place to enter it anymore it literally won't let me do anything, what can I do?
I can't put a passcode becouse I don't have that button
I found a iphone 4s when I moved into my new place. The iphone had a password to get into the phone I took it to a friend who fixes iphones and he deleted the password my friend said I still can't use the iphone cause the person had a apple id and password is there away to delete those do I have to get an iTunes account to maybe delete

- Locked iPhone, don't know the password? I have an iPhone 4s through AT&T and the other day one of my friends decided it would be cool to set a password on my phone and not tell me what it was. It was just meant to be a joke but they don't remember what the password was so now my phone is locked and I can't access anything because I don't know the password. What do I do!
- Is there any way I can use my deceased father's iphone X even though I don't know his password or his e-mail password? My dad passed away recently. He had a fairly new iPhone X. I'd like to use it as my own phone but I don't know the passcode. I watched a video on how to restore the phone but I still can't use it because the phone is connected to an itunes account… And since i don't know his e-mail password, i can't reset it. I went to AT&T (where we were on a family plan) but they said they can't help me. Is his nearly new phone destined to be a paper weight?

- I'm trying to ease all contents and setting from my iPhone 7 and it's asking for a password but I don't have a password Ok so I recently got an iPhone 7 and when I opened it up it was a clean slate nothing on it. However when I tried to restore my old phone's data I restored the wrong phone. I tried to go into setting and ease all contents but it asked for a password that I didn't put into my phone and didn't create. I have no clue what to do.
