It does not pop up a dialog requesting that you enter your password? Is this your device or did you buy it second-hand? You may have a problem requiring that you restore your device. See:


Have you tried any troubleshooting?


  1. Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
  2. Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
  3. Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory
