I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out?

I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out.  What can I do to reset the password on the ipad?

Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you can't use the computer that you normally sync to then you will need to use a different computer, but you won't be able to re-sync your content.

  • How can I change my iPad password when I forgot the current password. Now I'm locked out.

    I've changed my iPad password and now I can't remember what I changed it to. I've tried holding the home key down while I plug in the power but the old password is still requested . I have my backup in the in the cloud so once I get a get a valid password I'll be able to do a restore.

    You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • I forgot my iPad password and now I have a iTunes icon and charger on my initial screen

    What does the iTunes icon and charger on initial screen mean

    It means you have to connect your iPad to your computer and restore it as a New Device via iTunes.  Next time, if you use a passcode, write the number down somewhere as there is no other option.

  • My daughter locked herself out of her ipod.  She can't remember the password and now we are locked out.  How can I get back in or restore it after she forgot her password?

    My daughter forgot her password on her iphone and we cant get it unlocked.  Is there a way to bypass her password or restore the phone so she can use it again?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad!

    I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad! I need to get onto my iPad because for some assignments I use my iPad. I want to preferably factory reset it.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • I forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    i forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    There is only one solution.  You will have to restore your iPad via your computer in iTunes.  Do not restore from backup as you can't remember your password.  You'll have to restore as a new device and resync everything all over again.  Next time, write your password down for future reference.
