Cannot Restore Device without Password. Forgot password.

My son forgot his password.
I'm trying to restore the device, but it's telling me to turn off "Find my iPhone" before I can restore.
Tough to do when I can't turn on/ open his ipad without knowing the password.
Please help.

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 (very important)
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: Data will be lost

How to restore ipad without password

hi
I forgot my ipad password. If I try to restore then it is asking for password. How do I restore my ipad to original settings ?
Thanks
Sandeep

You need to put the iPad into recovery mode, if you succesfully do that then your computer's iTunes won't prompt you to enter the passcode on the iPad : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

Cannot restore back as password error, cannot restore back as password error

HI I AM NOT ABLE TO RESTORE MY BACK UP FORM TEH COMPUTER , IT IS ASKING ME FOR A PASSWORD AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PASSWORD IS , IT NEVER ASKED ME FOR THSI BEFORE

If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.

CANNOT RUN UPDATES WITHOUT PASSWORD

I HAVE PURCHASE A USED APPLE IBOOK G3 VIA EBAY,AND AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT CONNECTED TO MY EXSISTING INTERNET IT SAYS THAT 1.I NEED TO RUN UPDATES,WHICH I TRIED TO DO BUT IT REQUIRES A PASSWORD AND BEING THAT I BOUGHT IT USED,I DON'T HAVE ONE AND NOTHING I'VE DONE SEEMS TO WORK. 2. THE MEMORY NEEDS TO INCREASED...IS THIS POSSIBLE?
I AM NOT VERY COMPUTER ORIENTED,SO ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ME,I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL!

Welcome To  Discussions calabilly!
Exactly which model iBook G3 is it?
What is the Processor speed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much free space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
What type of internal Optical Drive does it have?
If you have the system restore/install discs, use the instructions here Reset Admin Password.
If the previous owner did not include the discs, contact the seller and request they be furnished.
Or if you can call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the iBook, you may be able to purchase replacement original system discs.
However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the Mac model, will also be included.
If the original OS, is lower than the current installed version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

Cannot update iOS without password

I Know my password is right, but Everytime I try to update IOS, it tells me I need a password and that my password is incorrect

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

I cannot open account without password

The box where I could change to deactivate password is grey

Hmm, it sounds like you need to reset your admin password.
1. Shut your computer down
2. Boot computer up while holding down Command and R on your keyboard.
3. You will be brought to a language selection screen, here select your desired language and continue by clicking on the arrow that appears in the right hand corner of the screen.
4. You will be looking at the OS X Utilties menu. From here click on "Utilities", at the top of the screen along the menu bar. From the drop down menu select "Terminal".
5. With the Terminal window opened up type: resetpassword and press the Return key on your keyboard, this is going to open up a secondary window.
6. Within that secondary window select "Macintosh HD". With that selected choose the user account that you wish to change the password for.
7. Create your new password and click the "Save" button.
8. Restart the computer and log in to your user account using the new password you have created. You will be prompted at login to unlock your Keychain or create a new one. Go ahead and create a new Keychain and you will be good to go.

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.

I updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?

Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes. Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

Forgot Id and password of previous Z10 and cannot restore backup on new Z10

I forgot BB ID and password of previous Z10 which I gave to my daughter. Cannot restore back-up done from the previous Z10 to the current one as it requires the previous ID and password.

If you are now using a NEW BlackBerryID on the device, you will need to security wipe the device, and then setup the Z10 with the other BlackBerryID.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

cannot restore ipod, forgot password and id please help
thank you

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
