Can I backup my ipad without having the password?

I have an ipad 3. Some time ago the glass broke so I started using my wifes ipad. I finally got around to fixing it but now I don't remember the password (I tried usual suspects, but now I have to wait an hour between each new try). I know how to restore, but that will wipe all the data (I don't have backups of this device on this machine).
What I'd like to do is a backup of the device, THEN restore as new. That way, I know I'll at least still have my data (lots of photos) in that saved backup for whenever I can remember the password. But at least I won't have to rememinber it NOW to use it. Basically I don't mind doing a system wipe and having all my data lost if I know there is an image of it on my machine that I migth be able to get into somehow/someway.
So is there a way to do a backup without knowing the password? Either using iTunes or another app?
Bonus question: If I do a "restore", what iOS version gets restored? Does it check for the latest or? I ask because this iPad doesn't have iOS7 and I don't really want it (I'd rather keep 6.x that's on it)
Thanks in advance!

deggie: It seems I haven't sync'd it with this PC before becase the only options iTunes gives me is to enter the password first so I can access it. Although it's been a while since I've used it (its an ipad 3, got it pretty close to launch, broke the glass, and have used my wifes ipad 2 since), I'm pretty sure this is the same PC as when I was using it so I was pretty suprised that it wouldn't see it as mine. Unless my iTunes is now set to (only?) work with my iphone and my wifes ipda?
So I don't want to restore as that'll wipe all my data forever (and I really don't want iOS 7.1.1)

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

Can i lock my iphone without having the apple id?

Can i lock my child iphone without having his apple id?

If you mean you wish to lock it remotely, then you need whatever Apple ID and password that was used on the iPhone to set up Find My iPhone. If that was your child's ID, then yes, you'll need that ID and password.

Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

How to delete an old closed email account without having the password

I recently closed my email account that I used to create my itunes account and I forgot the password to change or delete this account. I created a new account in Itunes, but now I can`t change my old email and user name. What can I do to eliminate this old account in my Ipad and creat the new on? Thanks

I assume that you updated the existing account id rather that creating a new one, if so then you can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated id. If you created a new account then any content that is on the iPad will remain linked to that old account

Removing Content from my iPad without having the Cloud

I am trying to clean my iPad of all iTunes Media. I have removed the songs, videos, and such but still have them there with a cloud. I would like to have a clean slate. I have everything backed up on my iMac for upload to my iPad later.

Those items are not on the iPad. The cloud icon means that they are in iCloud and can be downloaded by tapping on the cloud. You can hide those items by going to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Show all>Music>Off and Videos>Off.

Hi
Please - no offence - no irony in this at all - just bit of lack of phantasy (in my department). BUT
If You don't like it scaled up to fill sideways and You don't want black borders.
Is it stretched sideways You want . Short fat people and all scaled just sideways - or.
What do You want and wherefrom would that information be retrieved that should fill the black borders ?
What's not recorded can't be created magically as far as I know.
So I guess that You need to explain much more how You think it should look and with what material it would be created.

How can I unlock an Ipod without having the option to put in a password, How can I unlock an Ipod without having the option to put in a password

My ipod is locked but does not give me an option to enter a password. When I turn on the Ipod I get a screen that shows my screensaver and reads "IPOD is disabled, connect to iTunes." I tried to connect but I get a message on iTunes saying, "iTunes cannot be connected to this Ipod because this Ipod is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the IPod before it can be used on iTunes." What do I do?

How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
