iPhone password resets is incorrect.

Hello world.

Something I want to ask the community at the time but had no time to do.

I have an iPhone 6 that I've had for about 1 year now. For all this time, I had a password on the phone. I have the kind of friends that when they get their hands on my phone, they think it's hilarious to lock me up by entering the incorrect password several times. This happened the other day in a bar and reset my phone, as if it were a new phone, right on the box. White screen, black apple logo, then the entire installation process, selection of the language, Touch ID etc... Luckly I had a backup that I restored from when I connected to wifi.

I don't know whether it was a security feature or if it is a fault with the phone. Anyone else has this problem or can someone help out me. Planning on going to the city the weekend so could visit the Apple Store when I'm there.

Thank you guys.

This is an optional feature.

Go to settings > Touch ID & access code.

Scroll down to the bottom. If erasure of the data is enabled, the phone will be wiped after 10 incorrect password attempts.

If you have configured an e-mail account Exchange Company on the device, administrators can apply policies on the topic, including the obligation to erase data after a number of incorrect attempts. If they did, you can't turn it off without completely removing the Exchange of her account. If you add the Exchange back account, the obligation will be once again forced down to the phone.

  • password reset disk

    I have two computers in my house. Anxiety is a HP Pavillion entertainment laptop model.

    A short while back, we had to reset the computer to the configuration when we bought it.  Reset us the password to get into windows, which was easy to remember.  Today, the password screen refuses every password that we could possibly use.  There is only a password reset hypertext, but it requires that we should have previously done a reset disk.  I remember reading that a reset disk was a requirement.  Can I do a reset disk of the computer that I can get from the info on the laptop.

    Thank you

    Hello jamspar,

    You are not able to connect to the computer, you get the message that the password is incorrect.

    You can try a system restore (by entering F11at start) back until you have changed the password and then try to connect again.

    You can use the keyboard on the screen to make sure that the keyboard is not give the wrong answer.

    You can run a recovery by pressing F11 at startup upward. This will allow you to connect in the computer, but you will not be able to view all the files on the computer.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Windows 7 Administrator account cannot change password ("the password entered is incorrect")

    I have a user account on my computer. This is an administrator account. I can connect with my administrator password and I am in this account as I write this. When I try to change the password in the control panel-> user accounts-> change your Windows password I get my password for the existing administrator and then the new twice, but I get the error message "the password entered is incorrect. Please re-enter your current password. »

    • I entered the current password is the correct (otherwise I wouldn't be connected to the account).
    • I made repeated tests, so I can exclude typos
    • the caps lock is disabled

    How can I work around this problem to change my password? "Current password" means something other than the password I used to access my account?

    Is it possible to display the version of distorted of the password so that I can use it when you change the account password?

    There is no way to display an existing password.

    To dig a little deeper, I suggest you do this:

    1. Create an alternative admin account. You should have it anyway, even that you have a spare House key, because you'd be in diabolical trouble, if something went wrong with your one and only the admin account.
    2. Test the alternative account.
    3. Play with the password for your existing account. If you get locked, use the alternative account to reset the password.

  • BlackBerry smartphones IS INSTALLING IN BB PROTECT PASSWORD RESET RESET THE DEVICE PASSWORD

    1st post ever.

    BB TORCH 9800 IS RUNNING ON T-MOBILE UK NETWORK PIN PROTECTED

    I started with the BB BOLD in 2009 and moved to BB TORCH 2011 when I had an option of upgrading, so I'm pretty familiar with BB.

    My device is protected by BB and there's the option of password reset on the leg for the identification of BB. What I'm not clear all is if this resets the password to access BB Protect or it can reset the password for the device. I'm on my attempt at entry 9 password, and here's how I got here.

    Summer using the phone as normal through today. I have the protect of spindle of 10 minutes, i.e. whenever the phone is idle, he hangs himself. PIN protection also need to install the software etc, so I must have unlocked the phone at least 12 times or more today.

    As usual, I've unlocked the phone 2 hours ago to send and receive BBM PINES of a couple of friends who have stopped. The only thing that struck me is that one of them used a BB Pearl and the BBM PIN is all non-alphanumeric numbers. After they were gone, thought I'd check on my emails and tried to unlock the phone as usual, and he kept on the return "Incorrect password." I couldn't believe it that's a pin Digital and thought it was a mistake and continued.

    By my 7th attempt, put the sim in a spare handset and called my operator T-Mobile, they said there was nothing they could do, I had to enter in contact with the RIM. Put the sim card in my BB Torch and gave him another chance (at that time it asks you to type in "blackberry" and your password in clear text)

    Fortunately, I had BB protect enabled, I signed the and saved my camera.

    Under the my device tab, you can change the password for the device. T o do you need to enter the existing password (known), enter a new password and then click on the locking device. Done everything that he went and came back to say this device has failed.

    Tried to unlock the unit 9th attempt.

    What are my options?

    The BlackBerryID reset password affects ONLY the password of the BlackBerryID... NO password security of the device itself. Two completely different things.

    It's weird, but not impossible. I've seen a lot of BlackBerry wants a digital-only PIN. Not much.

    It has nothing to do with you the problem.

    I guess it's that you have entered your only security digital password wrong... only not by pressing the ALT key to make the number.

    Often users with more than one digit in their password will only press the ALT key to the first digit and not those who follow, so for example, if your password "1234", you could put pressure on 'Alt 1234 "on the device, making the real password to be"1st".

    Who is? It sounds familiar to your use?

    In order to verify the manner in which you enter your password on the device... do you think that you enter several numbers, but in fact are not?

  • iCloud password reset scam e-mail?

  • Says password reset page "is not an apple ID".

    We recently replaced a hard drive.  After you restore things, I tried to play a song on iTunes and received the message "this computer is not authorized...". "and it gave me a chance to enter the password with the Apple ID already filled.  No password worked, so I just clicked on 'Forgotten?' and was taken to the Apple page to reset the password.  The Apple ID was already entered, so I clicked on "continue".  At this point, however, the page pops up a message saying "< myemail@address > is not an Apple ID".

    I don't understand because this is the e-mail address with which the song was purchased.  What should I do now?

    Windows 7

    Hi iNoodles4118,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry to hear you are having these problems with iTunes and your Apple ID. I'm a bit difficult to know if ID Apple which had already inquired on the authorization page when you tried to play the song corresponds to your current Apple ID or possibly a precedent or even an unknown ID. You can check to see what Apple ID, the song was purchased slot, as follows:

    Control iTunes for previous purchases

    If you have already purchased something from the iTunes Store, you can check which account was used to buy it.

    If the Apple ID has changed since then, and the name in the Info file will not work.

    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Click on one of your purchases. You can find your purchases under my music or playlists.
    3. Choose file > get info.
    4. Click the file tab.
    5. The "purchased by" will show your Apple ID in parenthesis that was used to purchase the item.

    If you find your Apple ID, but still don't have to remember your password, reset your password.

    If you have forgotten your Apple - Apple Support ID

    If it comes from your current Apple ID, you should be able to verify that your password is correct and working by going to the main page of Apple ID:

    Manage your Apple ID

    I recently received a note of advice on tune on creating a password reset disk.

    This advice works perfectly on my desktop HPE-480uk running Windows 7, but doesn't seem to work on my computer laptop 15-e092ea Pavilion that has just been improved Windows 8.1 for Windows 10.

    Creating a password reset disk function is not in user accounts. It is not necessary with Windows 10 or are different instructions?

    The only way that it "protects" you (in terms of MS...) is that, if your forget the password, you can log into your account of MS from another PC and reset  Who is right for which you do not have a password reset disk.

    I left using this method of connection because I didn't like my email address is displayed on the login screen for all to see.  It's OK on my desk at home, but it was NOT OK on my laptop when I traveled with it.  So, I switched to using a local account.

    I lost my iphone. If I turned on the lost mode and erased my iphone, password to unlock will be disabled?

    There will be no access code, but also no data on the phone, so it's okay.  Cannot use the phone until it is activated, which will require your password Apple ID.

    You can receive text messages saying that the phone has been found and asking you to verify your Apple ID, or to connect to a Web site with password Apple ID.  These are fake, just try to get your password to activate the phone stolen.
