    ‘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.

    hi my daughter has forgotton her password to gettin into her i pad and im not sure of what to do please help

    She'll will have to restore the ipad via itunes on a computer. If its the same computer that the ipad was originally synced with then she should be able to reset the password during this process. If unable to do this or restore then follow these instructions:

    But, all content on ipad will be deleted during restrore.

  • HT1459 my daughter has forgotton her passcode. we have not linked the ipod to i tunes how can we unlock it

    My daughter has forgotten her passcode. The ipod has not be synched with itunes so does anyone know how to unlock it. I have tried a few things that I have found on you tube but can't get them to work.

    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Because the iPod has Not been Synced with iTunes... All Data will be lost
    And... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • HT1212 Grand daughter has entered wrong pass code enough times to get disabled for 222,247,878 minutes What do we do?

    My grandaughter has entered the wrong password so many times wrong, we are receiving  message that it is disabled for 222,247,876 minutes.  Is there anything I can do?

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here and then do a Restore.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.

  • My daughter has forgotten her passcode

    Please help!!!! My 8 yr old daughter has forgotten her pass code for her new iPad. We have tried restoring through iTunes however it is stuck on "preparing to restore this iPad" Please can anyone advise on what to do. Many thanks, anxious mum x

    You have to restore the device with iTunes on a computer.
    You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will probably have to use recovery mode

  • How to remove anti pass code lock

    hi
    my phone has now anti pass code lock. When i try to turn on the phone, there is a voice activated. And there is a passcode screen, but it does not seem to accept my passcode. It doesnt even say that i entered wrong code or anything. It just says aloud the number i am entering. Also, my phone is not sync with i-tunes or anything. Kindly help me out

        Hello RABAIL,  Let's give you back the key to unlock your phone!  Have you tried a soft reset of the device by holding the Power and Home keys until the device restarts?  If this was not successful I may suggest restoring the device through iTunes back to the factory settings.  Here is a link to complete a restore:  http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39607  Please keep me updated on the status as I would be happy to help further. 
    Thank you,

    My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
