Ipad 1 screen black, need to reset to factory default

After 4 years of use, my ipad 1 has 1/2 screen black (looks like pixel failure).  I have a password on the ipad that I can not unlock because I can not see the whole screen.  I want to be able to set it back to factory default (wipe all data).  I tried the home/power switch combination, sync via Itunes option, but it is not wiping my data.  My screen is still partially viewable.
How do I wipe all data so I can dispose of the ipad?
Thanks!

Your not speaking to apple here.  We are users like you.

basically you contact apple with proof of ownership.
consider DEP this will assign your company as the owner of the device.  Use meraki a free MDM.

    My phone screen is cracked and my LCD is broken.  I need to reset to factory settings before I discard it, how can I do this?  I was able to get it into recovery mode, I unconnected it from my Find my iPhone (i couldn't erase that way because I can't connect to WIFI with the screen not working).  I clicked restore iPhone from iTunes, but it's been sitting on "Contacting the iPhone software update server..." for over 40 minutes.  Should I restart this process or is it supposed to take a really long time?  Thanks!

  • Itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory settings

    itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • E3000 needs to be restarted regularly, sometimes resets to factory default

    My E3000 needs to be restarted at least once a week. Pings to the router will slowly lag over time and reach 700+ after several days from my wired desktop. Sometimes during the restart the router will also reset to factory default settings.
    So far I've installed the 1.0.02 (build 4) firmware and done the restart while holding the button. The new firmware has greatly improved my wireless performance but I have no idea what to do next.

    Follow the below mentioned settings and then check.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case. Click on the Wireless tab > Click on Advanced Wireless Settings Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings.

  • Need 2 reset 2 factory RECOVER MANAGER is not in start menu

    I have a Pavilion dv7-4177nr/windows 7. I need to reset to factory without loosinf windows 7.  Problem is I dont have 
    "Recover Manager" in my start menu.  Tried other ways like F11 and it doesnt take me to where I need,  tried another way and I have to have widows disc...which i dont have.
     The reason why I need to factory reset because My computer was hacked by trying to find a free windows 7 to download.  I need to get a different windows because a friend put a conterfit one on microsoft just told me I need to change that.  I live on disabiity and have no money to buy all this.  Is there someone out there who can help me? please

    If you are unable to access the recovery partition by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while starting the computer, you will have to order recovery disks from HP Customer Care if you did not create them when you got the computer.  There would be a nominal charge of around $20.00

  • IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without resetting to factory defaults?

    IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without having to reset to factory defaults? I have both iCloud and iTunes backups....

    No.
    Apple has no support or provision for reverting to a previous iOS version.
    Try a reset of your iPad by holding down the power button and hone button simultaneously until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple Logo reappears on screen, then let go of the buttons.

    Hey seips1,
    Thanks for the question. Yes you could do this, however there may be easier methods:
    A) Restore your device with iTunes:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    B) Erase your device with iCloud:

    You’ll also want to disable activation lock (turning off Find my iPhone, deleting your iCloud account) from the device before selling the device:

  • Satellite L300-20D - Reset to factory default - How?

    Hi,
    My Laptop is Kind Of Messed Up At The Minute And I Am Looking To Reset To Factory Defaults.
    Can Anyone Tell Me How To Do This?
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    The exact procedure for HDD recovery is described here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    But therefore the original OS from Toshiba (Vista) must be installed. If you have installed another OS you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk that you created.
    The installation from Toshiba recovery disk you can start if you boot from CD/DVD drive. Then follow the screen instructions to install Windows.
    Its very easy because all drivers and tools will be installed automatically.
    Please send some feedback if it worked or not. ;)

  • I have disabled ipod touch.. how can i unlock without resetting to factory default?

    i have a disabled ipod touch. how can i unlock with password without resetting to factory default?

    You can rstore from backup but you must restore the iPod
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • RVS4000 resets to factory defaults

    I just installed a new RVS4000 router (firmware V1.3.0.5), configured it to my LAN, saved the setting and created a configuration backup. 4 times now in less than a week I lost access to the internet only to find the router reset to factory defaults.
    I can restore from the backup, but a day or 2 later and it resets again.
    Any suggestions - or do you think it's a hardware problem and I should return it for replacement?

    Please give this a try. First you need to upgrade to the latest firmware version(1.3.2.0). After upgrading to the latest version of the software the next step is to reset the device back to factory defaults. Then after the reset to factory, load the device manually. Next step after loading manually is to save your config file. This should take care of the reset back to factory default issue. If this does not take care of the problem please call into the support center. The number to call is 1-866-606-1866. Also please if you have to call in let the support center engineer know the steps you have already taken.
    Thanks

  • My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

    My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC.  I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

    I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
    If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
    A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.
