Entered wrong password, stuck now???
I know wht to enter, but it will not let me.
Hi.
If this hasn't been resolved yet, try the solution provided by MonkeyMan1357 here:https://discussions.apple.com/message/20565913#20565913
Basically, you want to edit / or delete the keychain.plist file located in the user profile folders ( C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\keychain.plist )

TS1398 ipad setup - can't join my wifi, entered wrong password and now wants DHCP and other info
just got an iPad and set it up, synched with my computer. Then I turned on WiFi (to connect to my home FiOS router) and when it asked for password I entered the wrong one. So, I tried again and now, instead of prompting me for password, it's asking for DHCP and lots of other detailed info that I don't know.I tried turning wifi off and then back on ... same result when I tried to join (the DHCP et. al. prompts). I tried turning the iPad off and back on ... same result.
What to do??? I'm so anxious to try out my new iPad
(P.S. I have an iPhone and have no problem accessing WiFi. This issue with the iPad was obviously triggered by my entering the wrong password)Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name - tap on the blue arrow to the right of the name and then tap - Forget this Network in the next window at the top.
Restart your iPad for good measure and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Your home network name and start over again. -
my youngest kid found oldest kid ipod and entered wrong password to many times and now it says it is disabled and i need to connect to itunes when i do it tells me i need to unlock the ipod and it wont let me what do i do
Connect the iPod to yur syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.. If it asks for the passcode and you can't enter it, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -
entered wrong password on my i phone several times...and now it says: i phone is disabled...connect to in tunes.
Do as it says. You will have to restore the phone as new (no backup) to get rid of the passcode and use the phone again. You'll aslo have to use the computer you synced the phone before, or you'll still need the passcode.
BTW, how do you "forget" a passcode when you have to use it several times a day, every day? -

‘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.

HT1430 ipod locked after entering wrong passwords, how do i unlock it?
I have entered wrong passwords on my ipod. Ipod now disabled. How do I reset it please?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I have ipod touch and somebody tried many many times(22000000) to enter the password and now it is locked how i open it please help me ???
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.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

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. -
my kids enter wronge passwords several times until the ipad says"connect to iTune" but the ipad does not appear on the iTune.I know the correct password.
You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup -

Restore the iPad from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPad into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

my children enters wrong password several times on problem my ipad ..., the was it is indicated that it was disabled ... how can i access my ipad thanks please help ... thank you
If it's reached the point where you can't try re-entering the code then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 -
