‘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.

Forgotten master password (but also have file-vault enabled)
Ok to clarify this is not me but my lovely dozy girlfriend and her Macbook...
I did read about deleted some library files somewhere but since she had filevault enabled i hear that method might not work.
To add insult to injury she also didn't make a back up.. So i ask everyone here, is it at all possible to fix this problem and retrieve the data without doing a re-install of Mac OS??
She will bake a cake for anyone who can solve this problem.

Can't you enable root and go in as the super user?
If i had any idea how to do that i would certainly try
@Cathy, sorry my typo... delete not deleted. It was reference to a fix where a user on another forum suggested deleting 2 specific files located somewhere in the library folder. Apparently it removes the master password, however it does not work once filevault has been enabled.
@JSD2: Will ask her to try her login password when she gets home.
Thank you all for the speedy responses. -
I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????
There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads. -
I did not forget my master password - but the app kept asking for it
I am not editing the question although your website seems not to "understand it" - I wrote it down and so far the application (?) has not offered to remember anything.
There was a time before I installed Version 12 - when I was ASKED if I wanted it to remember - all the device asks for is my master password
I am recently become a user of FF12 and I have also Personas and the Personas Manager - but that fails sometimes to work and it does not change the picture - then I have to SIGN in ALL over again
Any advice would be welcomed and gratefully received
Patricia Francis-Wilson aka patriciaenolaIf you create a master password, each time you start Firefox, it will ask you to enter the password the first time it needs to access a certificate or stored password (copied from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Options+window+-+Security+panel#w_passwords Passwords - Use a master password] )
thank you -

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please
You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)
It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

My ipod will not connect to my home wifi, it can see it and asks for a password but will not connect. I have tried it at another location and it will connect to other wifi connections. I have another ipod that is connecting just fine to my home wifi.
- Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

my nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top of iPad, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong? I even called my internet server and they cant help! They're saying my nephew must have a block. I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block" Can anyone help ME PLZ.
When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS? -

I have restored my i phone 4 and trying to restore from the back, but it is asking for the password, but when I entered the Itunes password it is not accepting it, how can I restore the password?
Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?
Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do. -

I'm unable to download apps from phone when I got into App Store, it asks for my password but never downloads, I have to hook up to computer to download apps to my phone
Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on? After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds. Then try your App Download again. If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.
