Although a passcode limits your iPhone to authorized use only, protecting your vital personal information, if you forget it, you can't use your phone until you enter the correct code or revert your phone to the default factory status.
Apple provides ways to resolve a forgotten passcode problem and improve the iPhone's security.

Wrong Passcode

When you enable iPhone passcode security, the phone requires you to enter the code to display the home screen.
By default, when this protection feature is enabled, you'll be prompted to enter the passcode to turn on or restart the iPhone, wake it or unlock the screen.
When you enter the wrong passcode, the "Wrong Passcode try again" message appears onscreen.
If you enter the incorrect code too many times, the iPhone will lock automatically and display the "iPhone is disabled, try again in 1 minute" message.
This disabling security feature is designed to protect it from unauthorized tampering.
If you keep entering the incorrect code, the iPhone will be disabled for a longer time.

Restoring iPhone
If you don't remember your passcode, unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve it.
Apple says that the only way to solve passcode problems is to restore the iPhone with iTunes.
Before restoring the phone, downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes will improve connection and decrease the chances of errors.
Unfortunately, restoring the iPhone erases saved content and clears custom settings, so create a backup copy of your files with iTunes before proceeding.
From there, you can restore your iPhone by clicking the "Restore" button on the device's "Summary" tab in iTunes.
When the process completes, you can change the passcode settings.



Changing Passcode Settings
iPhone allows you to not only create a new passcode, but specify the amount of time it should take before the screen locks after inactivity.
You can also specify whether you want to use a simple four-digit passcode or a longer one that can include letters and numbers.
Tapping the "Settings" icon on the home screen will bring up the phone's settings.
From there, tapping "General" and then tapping "Passcode Lock" will bring up the "Passcode Lock" customization screen.
Select the settings you want to use to protect your iPhone. The changes will take effect immediately or when the iPhone turns off.

Tips

After restoring your iPhone, create a passcode you'll remember easily.
While creating a longer passcode can increase the security on your phone, you can forget it easily if you don't write it down and store it in a safe place.
gmail password reset
Open the Web browser on your phone and navigate to gmail.com.
Tap "Can't access your account" located under the "Sign in" button.
Select "I forgot my password" and then click "Reset your password here."
Type your email into the "Email" text box and then type the random captcha into the captcha text box.
An email with your new Gmail password will be sent to your alternate Gmail address.
Follow the directions in the email to reset your password.
Type the new Gmail password into the loin screen on your Droid to unlock the account.

Checking phone messages

When trying to retrieve your messages from a different phone, you will call the number and when the message starts playing you will press either # or * (depends on your phone service as to which one you push). The message will stop and you will be asked for your pin/passcode. Enter it and you will be taken to a menu where you can pick the option to retrieve your message.

Can't retrieve voice-mail?

Most voice mail services require you to dial your own # to retrieve VM. Mine does not require me to use my area code. Yours may or may not (depending on your service provider). You may need a passcode to get into it the first time (maybe not). Your passcode will either be - the last four digits of your SS# or a four digit passcode that will be listed on your monthly bill. However, once you are in you can change your preferences. You can even set it so that you don't need a passcode at all when calling from that #. Only problem with setting it that way is you can't check your messages when calling from any other #.

Hope this info was helpful. Good Luck!

Once I set my iphone to retrieve emails from work and my yahoo account, how do i keep someone else from picking up my phone and readimg my emails from both accounts. I know there is a number code that you...

To my knowledge there is no way to do this. The best thing I can suggest would be to require a passcode lock for your phone, which is done through settings>passcode lock. You can set it to require the passcode immediately when you lock your phone or after a certain amount of time. Obviously immediately is the most secure. You can also turn off SMS preview so that new text messages won't display on the screen while the phone is locked.

Need to unlock my phone

If You Forget a Code, PIN or Password
Note: Your phone’s 4-digit unlock code is originally set to
1234 and the 6-digit security code is originally set to 000000.
Many service providers reset the unlock code to the last 4
digits of your phone number before you receive your phone.
If you forget your unlock code, try entering 1234 or the last 4
digits of your phone number. If that does not work, do the
following at the Enter Unlock Code prompt: Tap (MenuButton) to display the
unlock code bypass screen. Enter your security code, then
tap OK to submit the security code.
If you forget your security code, SIM card PIN code, PIN2
code or call barring password, contact your service provider.
