Factory Reset iPad 2 without passcode or iTunes

I need to do a factory reset on an iPad 2. It is locked with a passcode, and I do not have a computer with iTunes on it. How can I reset my device?
If you cannot help, please do not post irrelevant links or questions. Thank you.

There is no way anyone can help you. It is like asking how can I drive my car without an engine. You cannot restore it to factory conditions without iTunes and a computer. If you make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store they will restore it as a new device for you. You might also get the Geek Squad people to do so for you also.

  • My factory reset ipad requires passcode

    I have an Ipad which has been reset to factory settings but now it is asking for a passcode. I have never given it a code since the resent. How can I work out how to deal with this?

    You enter the passcode, that's how you work it out. Assuming that you purchased this device second hand, you need for the original owner to erase the device correctly for you. If this is a previously owned iPad, there is nothing you can do to unlock it without their ID and passcode.

  • Factory Reset Ipad Air without password?

    Hi guys,
    Need a bit of help I work in retail and have a customer who returned and ipad to us without factory resetting first and also we can no longer contact her to get the password so we can reset it ourselves.
    Is there a way I can bypass this and factory reset it without the password?
    Cheers

    I see now. It just seemed so odd without the context that you just provided.
    I have no clue how the vendor/supplier relationship works with Apple, but I would contact them and explain the situation. I have to believe that they have a way of dealing with this issue with their resellers.
    Other than getting help from Apple, there isn't anything you can do unless she is willing to cooperate. I would be tempted to take legal action against her if I could.

    How do I recover a Game Center ID?  My phone was factory reset because the passcode was entered incorrectly 3 times.  I am trying to recover my clash of clans account.

    Hello djsevcik,
    Game Center uses your Apple ID as the Game Center ID.

    Did you set up a different ID just for Game Center?  If so, see if you can find it with this help.

  • Please help factory reset ipad remotely

    I did a stupid thing — sold my 3rd gen ipad and forgot to factory reset before mailing. It's in transit now, probably arriving to new owner tomorrow.
    I need to remotely erase it without locking out the new owner. I can access it via icloud/find my iphone and it has a passcode lock. I don't remember if Find my iphone is loadeded on it or if I set it to delete content after # of incorrect passcode attempts. I suppose that would be the easiest way to fix this situation.
    Via icloud, I've set it to erase all content as soon as it is connected to the internet. Then I'm thinking, he can email me that it's been erased, then I remove it from my icloud account and that will allow new owner to start from scratch.
    Please let me know if this will work...or what will.
    thank you!

  • Transfer photos from iPhone 4 to iPad without going through iTunes

    Can I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPad without needing to use iTunes to sync?

    You have a Mac, so essentially iPhoto (or Aperture, depending on what you have) stores and organizes photos. I find this very useful, because although 99.9% of my photos are from a real camera, I do occasionally take photos with my iPhone, possibly more now that I have an iPhone 4.
    iTunes, as annoying as it can be at times, let's you organize what photos are moved to the iPad and iPhone. It really is easy, even for a rank beginner.
    Apple also keeps a closed system for these products. Again, annoying at times, but mostly it works. You should read stories about the Android system where apps work or don't work depending on seemingly random movements of the planets. There might be something out there if you look hard, but you'll be frustrated with what happens.
    I'm very happy how I control photos with Aperture, iPhone, iPad and iTunes in combination. Switch out Aperture and iPhoto, and you'll be fine too.
    But, if there's a particular reason why you don't like the combination, drop a note here, and we'll try to help out.

  • How can i restore my ipod touch 4g (?) without passcode or itunes

    Hi and thank you for helping as this is urgent.
    I forgot my passcode for my iPod, and guessed it to many times so it got disabled.
    The problem is I don't have iTunes and can't get it on my laptop, but need to restore my device. Right now on the screen it has a photo of a USB cord, an arrow, and the iTunes symbol. So, how can I restore my iPod touch without my passcode or iTunes?
    Thank you SO much.

    Right now you can't without a computer. Once you get to a computer you can restore it using DFU mode.

  • Resetting iPad without losing iCloud content

    I just bought an iPad from a friend that is linked to his cloud account which has all his contacts and documents that he doesn't want to lose. 
    How do I reset the iPad without losing any of his vital files in the cloud?

    If he sold you his iPad, he should have absolved you of any responsibility for this. If he has another iDevice such as an iPhone, or iPod Touch, his contacts and documents will be available in his iCloud account on those devices.
    Have him read this.

    You bought the iPad from him, it is up to him to do this and you really shouldn't be responsible for this at all.

  • Reset ipad without apple-id

    Hi,
    We have over 100 iPads used by employees. They use their own Apple-ID since VPP is not availble in Norrway.
    When someone leaves the company we need to reset and delete the ipad they used. But after iOs 7 this requires that you type in the username and password for the Apple-ID used on the device.
    Is there a way to reset an iPad without the Apple-ID of the person that was using it?

  • Factory Reset 8180 without cartridges

    Hi. I have an HP Photosmart 8180 which I had set to use a static ip address.
    It used to have cartridges randomly "expire" (are they diary products?) in turn, and would not print b&w nor scan in any manner without the culprit being replaced. That's the reason why I bought new ones.
    My principal printer is now a mfp lexmark colour laser w/ ADF, and I have assigned it the usual IP address.
    I'm planning to keep the HP Photosmart 8180 as a backup photo and 4x6in printer.
    I need to change the static IP assigned to the HP photosmart 8180, but it won't let me access to the settings/setup/whatever menu if I not replace the cartridges firts. All of them.
    Now, I don't want it to conflict with the other printer, and I don't want to change the lexmark's ip address and set it up again on the clients.
    Is there any way to factory reset the HP so that it will fall back to dhcp at least, without using the integrated touchscreen, or to access settings bypassing the "missing/expired" cartridge warning?
    The user manual only documents doing it from the touchscreen, but I have seen HP staff PMing users with instructions to reset printers differently

    well, solved it.
    While the printer is ON, press both "print photos" and "red eye removal", then enter the sequence "red eye", "print photos", "red eye" to access the hidden menu.
    I reset it from there, then it's configurable from the Embedded Web Server even if the touchscreen is trying to force a cartridge substitution.

  • Factory Reset Ipad

    I recently bought an ipad that was a demo in a store. I didn't think it would be a problem because I would just factory reset it to the normal setting. However, there is no factory reset option for me to chose. I am going through the settings - general - and scrolling to the bottom but there is not a reset option. Also... I downloaded new apps and I cannot get them to delete by holding them for ten seconds.... I currently own an Ipod touch which I thought would be similar but apparently not
    Thank you for your help!

    Would this also be under the settings - general because I do not have that option either...
