How to recover your iPhone password

This method for password recovery only works with the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. It will also work with the iPod touch fourth generation. Other than that I do not know of any way to assist those who have forgotten their passwords. If something new becomes available I will post it here. Unfortunately I do not have enough time to answer questions about this method so please watch the videos, check out this site and research through google if you are unsuccessful at first. This method definitely works but I would say that it has a certain degree of difficulty when it comes to proper execution. There is an option to send in your phone in if you just can't figure it out.

• This only works with iPhone 3GS, 4, original iPad and iPod Touch 4th generation
• You will need a computer running the 32-bit version of Windows 7
• You must download iTunes, the Gecko Toolkit, RedSn0w and the 5.0.1 IPSW for your device
• Your phone must have functional home and power buttons 
• This only works with a simple four digit password

First download all of the required files. Once you have done so you will have to follow the instructions in the video below.

If you have entered your password too many times and have ended up on the iPhone is disabled screen then you will need to follow the instructions in the following video. Note that this step actually works with the 3G as well as iPod touch 2nd and 3rd generations. This essentially gives you unlimited attempts for password entry.  

If you have what is called a "complex passcode" then you are going to have to figure out what it is as the Gecko Toolkit only uses a brute force method for password recovery. While there are other ways to get into a locked iPhone those methods are reserved for members of law enforcement who are conducting investigations. If you happen to know someone high up they might be able to help you but I sincerely doubt that they will. Doing so would place them in the position of using government resources to perform personal favors. That is not to say that this never happens but it would not be advisable as I'm sure that the consequences would be severe. You wouldn't want someone to risk their job in order to recover your data.
