Help resetting iPhone 5s?
So I have an iPhone 5s and I haven't used it for two days because I was away and very busy. But now I have forgotten my password and I don't remember my Apple ID. And I did not connect it to iTunes and icloud. So I'm I'm a horrible situation not knowing what to do. So are there like any buttons I can hold and press to make it go into factory mode or something like that? Because I need this phone and can't buy a new one yet. Please please help and remember this is an iPhone 5s.
You can recover or reset your password on the Apple web site.
You can get around the PIN [which is saved on the phone] by doing a DFU reset, which totally erases the phone. You need a computer with itunes on it to do that.

There's no way whatsoever to bypass the apple ID lock on an iphone/ipad itself; you must sort out your account to be able to continue.
When you do a full reset, the phone looks up its owner on the apple servers & still asks for the password etc.
If you were a genuine owner then you'd have access to the multiple ways that Apple help genuine owners to recover lost Apple IDs and passwords.
If you're a really careless owner who never set up those options, or lost access to them without updating your Apple ID recovery details, then you've also now lost your iPhone.
There's no hack and no bypass available. Congratulations, you possess a useless paperweight.

- Will resetting my iPhone make me lose my photos? My iPhone 4 has been acting really strange lately. So I'm thinking if I reset my phone it'll go back to normal, but I'm scared that I'll lose my photos! Will all my photos get erased? Even though I have my iCloud back up on?
- Why does my iphone 4s settings keep resetting? My phone is not jail broken. I reset my phone every night and sometimes when I reset it when it comes back on some of my settings are reset like my ring-tones, brightness settings and mail settings. One time when I did this it acted like it updated. It has the loading bar and my settings listed above were reset. I recently restored my phone and it keep doing it.
- Siri won't work after resetting iPhone 4S? I had to reset my iPhone yesterday as it was being weird. Everything is fine now, except for Siri. When I go to the settings menu and select Siri, my phone just goes back to the home screen. What do I do?
