LOST PASSCODE IN GUIDED ACCESS

Passcode was lost on an ipad while in guided access. cannot get in to it to do anything. have tried suggestions on the help site but unfortunately the device was not synced to any computer before use. no back up. want to start it from new but can't do anything with it.

Hello Karen,
The only way to get passed this is to put your iPad into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Check out the article below to walk you through those steps so that way you can use your iPad again.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

icec0der, you have to know the passcode for guided access and the poster said they forgot the passcode

In case i forget my guided access passcode/password.. will i be able to retrieve it or is there a way around to access my phone normally again

I have been using guided access on my phone. Recently (i am a part of a testing (QA) team for a gaming company), I have come across a situation where another person has enabled the guided access with a passcode which now no one is aware of. And ever sice, we were unable to test on that device. So i wish to find out if there is anyway around this system of guided access. Or if there is any possible way to retrieve the already entered passcode.
It would do us a great favor if you guys could help us out.

I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

All you have to do is triple-click the home button and then tap end.
See this for more details and other Guided Access tips -> iOS: About Guided Access

I put guided access on and stretched the whole thing put a passcode, and now i cant exit it because it doesnt work and says that you need to triple tap the home button, i cant put the passcode as it is disabled

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

Hello alimoshkforoush,
It sounds like you forgot the password for the Guided Access session. Try resetting your iPhone:
Reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can’t restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep.Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Guided access has Ben activated no password I can not get the red slider bar to shoe up when I hold the off and the home bottom down, it comes back to sarfri , I also tried over ten times to enter a passcode, but no go

Guide access has been activated, never set a pass word,I can not get the red slider to come up by holding the off and home button, tried entering a wrong pass word 10 time to reset it but it will not . Can only use Safari.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

STUCK IN GUIDED ACCESS ON IPAD. TRIPLE-CLICKING AND FORCER REBOOTS DON'T WORK, THE IPAD JUST UNLOCKS ITSELF AND GOES BACK TO THE APP I WAS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuck in Guided Access on iPad. iOS 7!
- Triple-clicking won't work, the Accessibility Options pop-up and I tap Guided Access, it unticks, but no passcode input screen comes up, and the iPad stays in guided access.
- Forced reboots don't work, the iPad just unlocks it self (no lock code) and goes back to the app that I am stuck in, which is Google Chrome.
- Lost Mode is not an option, location services are off.
- When I plug it into my computer, iTunes says that it is locked with a passcode, so I can't back it up.
There seems like no possible way to get out.
Help!?

If you are prepare to wipe your iPad.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Guided Access - ios7

So I updated my wifes iPad to ios7, no major dramas. However I have found Guided Access doesnt work the same anymore. We use it for our daughter, mainly with ABC iview. When I load the show, then put it into guided access, the show exits out of full screen. I can still here it playing, but no picture. Of course though, the screen is then locked so I cant do anything, so I turn off the guided access, and then try to get back to the show, then the app reboots. Assuming this is ios7 related as it worked fine with the lastest version of ios6 prior.

I had the same problem, and I solved doing this:
1 - put the iPad in lost mode with the Find My iPhone App
2 - Reboot it ( hold home and sleep untill it reboots)
3 - Unlock it with the passcode you created in the lost mode, and disable Guided Access in the Settings app
If not working yet, repet the process a few times.
Good Luck!

Guided access bug in ios7

hi, me and my brother have had the same problem with guided access in ios 7 on our iPads..
when you try and leave the guided access option you press home 3 times.. it just comes up with the ask options.. if I un-tick the guided access option it says it's left but you can't use anything open the ipad.. it constantly says I need to press home 3 times to close it but it says it's already closed when I do?
I forced a reboot to get it out, but I really like this feature and would like to know if there's a fix for the bug
thanks
sam
