[QUOTE="docbatchelder, post: 1363034, member: 236134"] not my itunes account, the actual phone unlock. Usually, you slide the unlock bar, your password lock comes up. you put in your password, 4 digits, or the word itself. i replaced this with the android-style diagram lock (swipe your finger in the right pattern on the screen to unlock the phone) 3rd party jailbroken app through cydia. This app will get me into the phone, but only [U]bypasses[/U] the [I]actual password[/I] that i put on the phone in the first place. So i can get into my phone, but i'm never actually "unlocking" the password. this means when i plug my phone into my computer, it says "this iphone is password protected, please unlock it to access it's contents" Or something very similar to that. So i can unlock it with the android style unlock, but it doesn't tell the phone i've put the password in, so i have no access to sync, or add photos, music, anything. my phone is also hosting a bunch of other problems i'm assuming are related to the jailbreak. i.e. camera shutter not opening, lock/unlock button not working, failing to ring/vibrate. I want to restore the phone, to get rid of my jailbreak, but i need to disable the actual password lock that is still on the phone. so i can save all my pictures/contacts. I hope this makes sense.
