AppLocket is a nice little app that enables you to lock all your apps from annoying people that always want to use your iPod/iPhone. There are many great features like a safety activation methods and more. There is one little option that enables you to add a password to unlock your applications.
Sometimes, you forget that password and it happened that you did not set a safety activation method. You basically cannot do anything.
It is recommended to not use the password feature in Applocket as it doesn’t really work as it should.
- Using iphonefolders go to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences and find com.nakedproductions.applocket.plist and extract it to your desktop
- Open the file with wordpad
- Now find
- Set the value of the “passwordenabled” key to false so that it looks like this.
Code: -
- You don’t even have to respring! Once you put the file back to your device, the password will be disabled!
- Make sure this time to add a safety activation method so that you can unlock it easily if ever you are experiencing problems.

Man you have no idea the headache you just solved me… Thanks millions dude!
Hey im locked out of my ipod by applocket and i tried to follow your directions and i came to a hault when i was looking for ipodstuff.org in the ipod folder so i could not fing the /var/mobile/Library/Preferences to go get to com.nakedproductions.applocket.plist
What do i do?
ipodstuff.org is the name of my ipod, What you have to do is go to your ipod and then go trough the other directories as shown on the picture.
If you device is called “ipod”
you should go to ipod/var/mobile/Library/Preferences
That is where you are going to find the file… Good luck!
I’m using the iphone and i’ve followed your instruction but i can’t find the var/mobile/library. What can i do? help me, please
I was wondering why my password wasn’t working! You’d think they would tell you or not put that option in there if it’s gonna totally render your phone useless!! Anyways if you have sbsettings you can open it and go into Safe Mode and then go into cydia and uninstall the app…. I went into ifile and changed the true to false and it didn’t fully work for me so I uninstalled…. Hopefully you guys have sbsettings it’s alot easier! Stupid Applocket
True true, and how come it didnt work?
When I changed the file there was just a blue rectangle box on my springboard that was still locking my stuff and wouldn’t let me do anything except my sbsettings, so I just uninstalled the app it was so much easier, that app was really buggy for me anyway, I used to use lockdown but it’s just keeps crashing on me now
