Hello.
I just received my iPhone 5c today. I set up a passcode. I forgot the passcode instantly and didn't write it down.
I tried putting my iPhone into recovery mode, however it tells me that I need to put in my passcode which I do not remember.
I cannot use find my iPhone because I did not set up iCloud.
I am stuck in an indefinite loop of not being able to access my phone.
Do I run over it with a car and get a new one? Thanks.
iPhone 5c
when i said find my iphone i meant use find my iphone to remote wipe
-> iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
I tried putting my iPhone into recovery mode, however it tells me that I need to put in my passcode
Which means you did not actually put it into recovery mode.
no
look bud
here i am walking you through whats goin on at this moment
should i wait until whatever it is is done downloading and then keep trying or what
its definitely in recovery mode, the iphone itself has the thing on it that signals that it is
Wait for it to finish downloading. It should then restore.
apparently my disk was full so i deleted a bunch of stuff i didnt need and now im trying to do it again
it being restoring and updating the stupid device
thank you pal, before it couldnt because my c drive was full somehow
i was int he middle of recovering it and this cmae up
That means that the device wasn't in recovery mode. Try putting it in to recovery mode again:
You have to enable recovery mode after the failed attempt.
Follow the instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 TO THE LETTER, starting with the section
If you have never synced your device with iTunes...
lawrence thats what ive been doing for the past 3 hours
im going in to get a replacement phone tomorrow htanks for your hepl though
It is is asking you to unlock the phone you did not follow the instructions 1,2,3,4 correctly.
i need help with somthing i had got my ipod disabled can you help me
What I'd like to know is, you're trying to conect to Nicole's iPhone, and yet your user name is Steph. Is this a 2nd hand device? If so, you'd have to get Nicole to put in the passcode and then delete her iCloud account from the device before you can set it up as your own. If you can't contact her, then is it iCloud blocked? Usually means its stolen if it is.
Read the rest of the messages in the thread you posted to. The solution is there.
Good catch! However, the problem appears to be the passcode lock, not Activation Lock. If it was an Activation Lock problem the message would be to enter the passcode for "****@icloud.com"
iPhone 5c forgotten passcode- difficult circumstances?
