I never set a passcode for my iPad but it is locked and I can't get it unlocked.  The "slide to unlock" does not work.  How do I get it unlocked?

I never set up a passcode for my iPad 2 but it is locked and I can't unlock it.  The "slide to unlock" does not work.  Any suggestions on how to unlock it?

You have to slide to unlock to bring up the keyboard if a passcode is set. If you can't slide then try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

    I have forgotten/never had a passcode for my ipad.  How can I find/set one up?

    Hi doph4140,
    If you are able to access/unlock your iPad currently (does not have a passcode) and you are looking to set one up, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
    If, instead, you are unable to unlock your iPad due to a forgotten passcode, then this article may be more useful:

    There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

  • Forgot passcode for my iPad but its not locked

    I forgot my passcode for my iPad , it's not locked or disabled. Also I have not backed it up with pc or laptop

    If it's not locked, and it doesn't require a passcode to use it, then you don't have a passcode. Also, if you don't have a backup then I suggest you use iTunes on your computer to make a backup before you have to restore it because you don't know your passcode.

  • Set CLASSPATH does not work, how do I run java.exe?

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem running the java.exe and I'm using Win XP. Here is my problem:
    Under the command prompt, I set the path: path = C:\Program Files\Java 2\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin
    Then I created a folder in E:\Hello. I save my Hello.java in that folder, and I compiled it:
    javac Hello.java
    Now, there is a Hello.class created in that folder.
    Then I try to run it: java Hello
    but I got an error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello"
    So, I try to set CLASSPATH, however, the problem remains, no matter how hard I try.
    Any ideas?

    None of the suggestion worked, I wonder why???
    Here is my location for the JDK:
    C:\Program Files\Java 2\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin
    Here is my location for my Java project file:
    E:\JavaProject\Hello
    Here is the file name:
    Hello.java
    Here is the command prompt:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Alex Ngai> e:
    E:\> cd JavaProject
    E:\JavaProject> cd Hello
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> path = C:\Program Files\Java
    2\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> javac Hello.java
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> java Hello
    Exception in thread "main"
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> java -cp Hello
    // Does not work, it lists all of the options for java
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> set CLASSPATH =
    E:\JavaProject\Hello
    CLASSPATH="C:\Program
    Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
    E:\JavaProject\Hello> java Hello
    Exception in thread "main"
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello
    // I have tried a lot more, none of them won't work!!
    Now what should I try in the following command prompt?
    E:\JavaProject\Hello>Given the above there is only one possible explaination.
    You have a file named "Hello.java".
    In that file you have a non-public class which is NOT named "Hello". Instead it is named something like "HelloWorld" or even "hello" (case matters.)

  • HT1212 i downloaded the ios 7 and i had never put a passcode for my ipad mini; when the device was updated to ios 7 it is asking me for a passcode. what can i do?

    What do i have to do if my ipad after installing the ios7 do not enter because of asking for a passcode and i've never put a passcode and its a new ipad?

    I had the same problem. After hours and hours of wrong password I placed one that I set up when I bought the iPad, I remembered that password I had to put it even if had disabled the option of asking me a passcode so, I placed that old one and !!!cabum! it continued the settings so, start thinking....
