My daughter went password happy on her iPod. She
Was grounded from it for a few days and now cannot
Remember it. Is there another way besides getting on
A computer to restore it? It's completely disabled now!
iPhone 4 (8GB)
No.
Um seriously? Was this even worth typing?
Go do something constructive with your time.
You asked a question. I answered it. What else do you want?
Sorry I'm new to this! Only saw your slinky
Status and assumed that was your answer!
:-/
I'm assuming I'm gonna need to get my
Computer hooked up ASAP! Ugh thanks!
We just moved so I haven't gotten to getting
Internet or my computer set up just yet!
Thank you tho!
Well, hopefully your daughter has learned from this!
(If not, you can always trade her in for a newer model.)
Hopefully she has! I've told her she will no
Longer have a password on her phone!
Thank you, have a great evening!
Seriously, I wouldn't be too hard on her. You'd be amazed at the quantity of adults that report the same problem.
If you want the data, apps, music etc. that was on the iPod, you will have to sync it with the computer with which it synced previously. If you are willing to start afresh, you can do a restore to factory settings on any computer with iTunes. In either case, you will first have to put it into Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Also if you have no access to a computer with iTunes, you could try calling your Apple store. Perhaps if you brought it to them they could reset it to factory settings for you.
Note that having a password on the iPod (written down somewhere and perhaps shared with her parent) is very prudent. Without the password, if the iPod was lost or stolen a finder/thief would have access to all the information on the device including email address and passwords, contacts and calendar entries.
I don't have a computer to restore my daughters iPod. Is there another way to unlock her iPod?
