DFU Mode: Device Firmware Upgrade Mode.

My Apple ID is a word, not an e-mail address.GlossaryHere are a few terms you might come across while jailbreaking. Some things are best not done carelessly. I was able to recover it and I now know more about exporting/importing Time Capsule configs.
#Seas0npass stuck on resetting dfu password
It turns out the right password was the temporary one I put in, not the one I thought was exported. A few days later I needed to tweak something and I kept putting in the "right" password. I made something up and finished the job. I imported the configuration and at some point it asked for a password. I was in a hurry, the kid wasn't happy the Internet was unavailable, etc. Or maybe I'm "using them wrong".īut to defend people as careless as I am, I recently replaced a flakey Time Capsule. What I mean is that you may have multiple IDs to use with iCloud including the Apple ID to use in the store. Since there won't be a resolution in this thread I'll go off topic and say I wish Apple would differentiate between an iCloud ID and an Apple ID. And when you create an ID, be sure to follow Apple's recommendations on a rescue e-mail address and security questions. Now I'm stuck at account B and could not activate it. From then on, I could still use my iPhone with account A without any problem, including purchasing apps, music etc.Ī few days ago, when I DFU restore my iPhone, it suddenly asked me to enter details of account B (Why I know it was account B is because iTunes show up the Apple ID partially, and that made me think of it). Then I logout account B and login account A again.

(I'm sure some of you have heard of that bug, which could turn off Find my iPhone locally on iOS) I first turn off Find my iPhone on account A in a normal manner, and login account B on iPhone, and use the bug to toggle off Find my iPhone. When I saw a bug on the Internet, which said there's a bug on iOS to toggle "Find my iPhone" without password, I created account B for test. I'm sorry that I didn't go into detail of the problem, but since there are so many people suspecting me, so I'm going to tell you more.Īccount A stands for the Apple ID which I normally use.Īccount B stands for the Apple ID which I used to test a bug (to be mentioned below)įirst, I use account A on the iPhone for normal use, and I do remember any of the details of this Apple ID. (Please note that I'm able to provide any proof of purchasing the iPhone) So my problem is, anyone here have similar experience? How did you solve the problem then?Īlso, any methods that I may attempt to contact Apple for unlocking purposes? P.S.: I asked them if they could check which iCloud ID I used, but they said it is privacy of their consumers and they don't have access to so. There is no way to unlock my phone in other manners even I provide proof of purchasing. What they could do is to assist me to recall my iCloud ID and password. Turn out they tell me that even with such information they are not allowed to unlock my phone. I did give them and even showed them the box I owned, and the receipt from the card company which I used to pay the iPhone. I asked the staff in Genius Bar about the activation lock, and they ask me to show them the receipt.

They suggested me to call Apple Care but turn out I booked Genius Bar as I believe this can be solved in a faster way. They attempted to help me find the iCloud ID and password but failed. Upon restore process, I forgot my iCloud id and password when the screen comes up asking me the Apple ID I used. I restored my iPhone in DFU mode for some reason. I provided the official receipt from Apple Store.Ģ. I visited their Genius Bar and did the following:ġ. I need to clarify a few points so that people won't suspect the phone is a stolen one.
