If you are prompted to enter the passcode then you will need to reset it back to factory defaults - you have a recent backup to which you can then restore to ?

Going through the factory rest stages, my iPhone was unlocked but when

Although, it came up with please enter passcode when I thought

I forgot my iPod pass code how do I change it without my PC since it broke

If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
You need to download the FindMyiPhone app and install on iPad and wipe the iPod fia that app. Then setup the iPod via wifi

It on, it asked for a four digit pass code. After several guess attempts, making me wait for an hour to try each time, I gave up. The next day, it asked me to connect to iTunes. I remain locked up with that request. I've re-booted several times and get same request.
Advice!! Help!

You have to reset the iPad using iTunes if you can not remember your passcode.

HT201406 Trying to update an iPad to os7. Need 4 digit pass code. I don't have one and am locked in the update? What should I do?

Trying to update to Os7. Program is asking for four digit pass code and I do not have one set up. Now I an locked in the update. What should I do?

Check to make sure you are not being asked to set up a pass code. Look for a very small Skip button. If the Skip button is there you are being asked to create a passcode. Either enter the four digits you want to use (and remember them) or tap on Skip.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.
 Cheers, Tom
