You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

I tried to update iOS in my iPad Air which was already downloaded in my pad. But when I tried to install it, my pad went to recovery mode and asking for iTunes. What to do now? I am trying to download iOS via iTunes MAC. Will it be cleaver?

ios 8 update in ipad air, went to recovery mode. Can't open it now!!!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (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 iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF. That will eliminate the problems all together.

‘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.

I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.

Hi JD,
I am able to fix this issue.....:-) Thanks for your help JD.
As per the Metalink note 747424.1, i replaced all occurances of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL with XD_ASSUME_KERNEL only in DB-tier, but not in the Apps tier. So this was causing the
above issue in the instalation of oracle 11i on OEL5
--Once again i alter and replaced all occurances of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL with XD_ASSUME_KERNEL in both the files....
(db tier)
<DB_HOME>/appsutil/bin/adgetlnxver.sh (did it earlier)
(apps tier)
<APPL_TOP>/ad/11.5.0/bin/adgetlnxver.sh
--run the autoconfig in apps tier with completed successfully result (and also generated the DBC files)
--run the adstrtal.sh and retry the rapidwiz once more. ( Oracle Discoverer services VIS_oracleapp1 - addisctl.sh - this one is Failed)
--This time everything checked OK in the instalation wizard.

After updating iphone it is locked and asking for passcode .where is passcode

cannot unlokc phone after I downloaded an update. It is asking for a passcode. I do not have it/

You entered a passcode after you updated your phone. It's usually 4 digits.

TS1398 I cannot join with a nearby Wi-Fi network. We have wi-fi in our apt. and our IBM laptop is connecting with no problem; but, when I try to use my iPod touch, the wi-fi is locked and asks for a password. I do not know it.

How do I join with the network that is in our apt? The iPod asks for a password and I do not have one. What to do?

You have to enter the correct password to connect.
Ask the person who setup the router for the password.

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it just lists icloud, EOL etc and asks for new account to be set up

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it comes up with Icloud, EOL etc like it is not set up. When you press on icloud and put in details it says the account is already set up.
Email had been set up and receiving and sending email but seems that no longer working. Have i bumped something and how do i fix it.

This is for Ipad rather iphone that am having this problem

My ipad is asking for a passcode

By accident I set my ipad mini to lock on safari (i triple clicked the home button) I was trying to turn off the voice over. Now it is asking for a 4 digit passcode to exit this setting. I have not set a passcode for my ipad. What do I do?

I have just done the iOS 7 update to my disabled son's iPad, which he uses every day for therapies, and now its suddenly asking for a passcode too! After update had finished there was jut suddenly this keypad on the screen asking for passcode, and I have never had or set one before!
Madame as you I tried generic ones, 0000, 1234 etc and all I managed to do was get the iPad disabled from entering too many wrong codes!
Ridiculous that this update sets a passcode lock yet doesn't inform you in any way of what it is!
I have been locked out for days now and I don't know how to get in!
Now apple have release iOS 7.0.2 as a "bug fix" which excited me when I initially saw it this morning but turns out their idea of a big fix for this passcode problem is to create a fix that stops people being able to bypass the passcode!!
God I wish I COULD bypass the thing, but I can't and yet that's what apple decides to do a big fix for, not the fact that I and from what I can see online, many others, have been locked out of our own devices since doing their stupid iOS 7 update!!
Links that are for forgotten passcodes are no help at all as they are for people who have had one and forgotten it, when you plug your device into iTunes, if you've ever created a passcode, there is a button you can see to "change passcode" but for me this is grayed out because I have never created one!
If anyone has solved this problem above, although not exactly the same as mine, pleas please reply and help!
Or if you've seen talk and fixes about this same issue with iOS 7 update please let me know? My son really needs his iPad! I'm also too scared now to update my iPhone in case same thing happens and I'm left without a phone!

My ipad is asking for a passcode yet i have never set one

Has anyone got any idea if there's a default passcode as I have never set one myself. I have tried many simple codes i.e. 1234 but nothing seems to work

I downloaded the new upgrade and now my ipad is locking me out, asking for a passcode. I dont remember giving it a passcode, how can I find it or get around it?

I have an ipad 2, just downloaded the new upgrade 7.03, and now it is asking for a passcode. I do not have a passcode. Anyone have any idea how I can get around this or is there a default 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.

So I changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when I tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password?? help!!!!

help!!!! So i Changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when i tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password, help what is going on, what should i do??

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

A passcode was not created when ipad mini 3 was first set up however it is now locked and asking for a passcode. What to do?
