Backing up Ipad without lost Password

Is it possible to backup an Ipad first generation iOS 5.1.1 WITHOUT a password if I have forgotten the password used to do previous backups? I do not need to do a Restore. I have tried doing the backup in a computer where I have never backed up this Ipad (there is no previous backup files) and iTunes continues to ask me for the password when I unclick "Ecrypt local password". Thanks

I think your comment is best answered by the second paragraph of the warning in the article I attached above:
"If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device."
You said "... I find odd that I cannot make a backup no longer choosing to use an encryption password." That does not seem odd to me, and here's why: At one time, the person making the backups decided they should be encrypted. Now, that person doesn't recall the password. Without recalling the password, should they be allowed to simply decide future backups should not be encrypted, even if they do have access to the i-Device whose data is being backed up? I think in the general case there is at least there is some reason for caution.

Hi my boyfriend and I split up and we agreed I would keep the iPad. Since breaking up we are no longer on speaking terms but the iPad is still signed In to his Apple ID. Does anyone know how to reset the iPad without his password?

‘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 cannot get a TV show from Itunes to play on my Ipad. I originally downloaded in HD but have since deleted and re-downloaded SD. I have also downloaded directly to PC and transferred back to IPad without success. It does work on PC

I recently purchased season 7 of entourage from Itunes and downloaded directly to IPad2. When I selected to play the tv shows the screen would go black and become disabled. I have to hit the home page to exit and then search for another movie in my ipad to get access to the library again. I have tried downloading directly to PC and then transferring to IPad without success. I don't think it is the download itself because I can play the tv shows on the pc and my iphone. Am I missing a setting? also, I can watch other tv shows or movies so my video app is not completely fouled up.

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Cannot erase iPad without iCloud password

I have an iPad used in a school setting. A student no longer at this school signed in with her icloud account. After upgrading to IOS7 I am unable to erase this iPad and remove this icloud account. I have tried but keep getting message to turn off find my Ipad and cannot do this without password. I cannot delete and erase all settings without password. I cannot sign out of icloud account without password. Please help me get out of this loop.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
This is the /ONLY/ option; apple cannot do anything to unlock the device. I'd highly recommand ensuring no students return a device with iCloud signed in.
EDIT: Have the student call apple to have her password reset for her, otherwise that iPad will be a lovely brick.

How do I delete iCloud on my iPad without my password I don't have the email it was set up on anymore

How can I delete Icloud on my iPad ? I don't have the email address it was attached to anymore

Hello jimsacto,
This can be done directly on the iPad by holding your finger on the app that you'd like to delete until it wiggles. Once it's wiggling, tap the 'x' in the corner of its icon.
Apps
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the app you deleted again (it depends on where you live).
Tap and hold an app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the "x" on the app you want to delete.

How do log on my iPad without knowing password?

Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

This is what you can do:

If the thief was able to turn off Find My iPhone, then your password must have been easily guessable (or the thief knows you) and you will not be able to find your iPhone. Otherwise, click the "Find My iPhone Overview" from the above article for more information.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Lost password of iPod back up encryption

I lost the password of the encription of the backup of my iPod, how can I recover it or start again without a password?
Ps: sorry for the bad english =)

As I said, without knowing the passcode for the encrypted, there is no way to ure/restore from an encrypted backup. Yu can continue to use the iPod and back it up but you can't use the encrupted backups without the passcode. If you want to be ablt to use a backup again yu have to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and forget about the enscfrpted backup.
The encrypted backup is a good security feature.
"Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync."
