If you have backed up your phone on iTunes before then you should be able to back it up again even though it is asking for a passcode. Then you won't lose anything.
fyi... you can back up the phone in iTunes before restoring and not lose anything, even if you don't know the unlock code.
How do I do that when it's telling me i can't backup because iphone is locked? PLEASE HELP...
Did you plug your phone into your computer and open iTunes?
Yes, what next???
Yes, what next???
Plug it in, go to iTunes, device page? And select backup right in iTunes.
the problem is, its asking for the passcode (i forgot) before it will allow a new backup...
Its always supposed to ask for your pin before backup/sync ... how do you guarantee your data security otherwise ?? Anybody can connect and backup your data to their system if they get a hand on your phone even though its pin locked
Ringing alarm bells for a stolen iPhone for me. If you synced it before with the computer it wouldn't ask for a pass code.the problem is, its asking for the passcode (i forgot) before it will allow a new backup...
Correct - something's up - more than minor rearranged screen lock.Sounds like you never backed it up if it's asking for a password for a new backup. I have never seen that message.
if the phone is unlocked prior to backing up it will not ask you for the passcode even if your phone has one set. if the phone is locked it will not let you sync or backup until you enter the passcode on the phone and unlock it, this is for security.
the people saying it's never happened for them probably because your phone wasn't locked asking for the passcode.
Doing it as we Speak with Screen Locked - Insert Cord to both - Screen on Phone says Sync in Progress.The computer you have previously synced with can back the phone up even if it is locked.
This isn't completely true. The computer you have previously synced with can back the phone up even if it is locked.
BOVA - try it right now -This isn't completely true.
The computer you have previously synced with can back the phone up even if it is locked.
If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
