I forgot my Iphone password. What do I do?
So I was being over smart and changed my passcode and set a new password two days ago… And I tried unlocking today but turns out I forgot my password. I have synced my iphone to itunes before but I haven't backed up my devise yet:/ Like not even once. So I thought I would back up everything and then restore my devise. But it says I can't back up my devise without unlocking my phone. (probably because I haven't backed up till now and that I'm going to do it for the first time? I don't know.) I really don't want to lose my all data in phone. Is there any way I can restore my phone without losing my data?
Contact the forgot password section in the itunes account and reset to one YOU can remember
Hey Unless you made a backup before you forgot your passcode, there isn't a way to save your device's data. You'll need to erase your device, which deletes all of your data and settings:
Restore using iTunes
If you've synced your device with iTunes, you can restore your device.
Connect your device to the computer you synced with.
Open iTunes. If asked for a passcode, try another computer you've synced with, or use recovery mode.
Wait for iTunes to sync your device and make a backup. If it doesn't, learn what to do.
Once the sync and backup have finished, click Restore [your device].
When you reach the Set Up screen while restoring your iOS device, tap Restore from iTunes backup.
Select your device in iTunes. Look at the date and size of each backup and pick the most relevant one.
Wipe your phone
Remember your password
Those are your options
No. If you forget your passcode, your only option is to reset the phone (which erases everything on it), then restore it from a backup. If you have no backups, all you can do is reset the phone.

- IPhone 5 forgot password I I got an iPhone 5 a few hours ago and forgot the password. I connected my phone with iTunes and it is restoring. It says it will take TWO hours to restore. The time isn't the problem, I don't care how long I wait as long as the problem is solved. But what I wanted to know, is has anyone had this problem? Like having to wait so long? And if so, did it work? Because I was reading reviews and people said it got stuck or etc. Has anyone been in this situation?
- I set an iPhone restrictions password on my phone, but forgot it? My younger nephew was borrowing my phone for the week, so I turned restrictions on. But, I forgot the password. I have 9 failed attempts, what happens if I get to 10? I know the phone will be wiped, but does that mean everything will be put to factory settings, or that I can't use my phone at all, or I won't be able to guess the password anymore? Sidenote- Non-jail broken iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1. And I don't own a computer and I can't restore it from one anyway.
- I Locked my Iphone and i forgot my password? Ok, s my friend all kept getting on my Iphone, i wanted them to stop that. So i put an passwaord on my Iphone 4. I forgot the password right when i put it in… I tried re entering it and now i'm locked out for a whole hour. I tried the restore thing but the passcode is still there. I guess thats because i saved the memory of my Iphone to my computer. I probably going to go to Verison to get it unlocked, but do anyone kknow what to do?
