Guided access forgotten passcode

Hi,
I would appreciate your help for a problem I am having with my iPad.
I have forgotten the Passcode for the Guided access! Please can anyone help me solving this!?
I have tried restoring it from iTunes, it gives error message, probably due to the guided access mode...
Thanks in advance, all sugestions welcome!

I am stuck in an App with Guided Access and have forgotten pass code? Help!

I have forgotten pass code for Guided Access and can not get of the App? I don't know what to do next? I have tried resetting by holding Home button and on/off for 10 seconds. What now?

Hi Suzanne
If you continue to be unable to guess the passcode by brute force attempts, you can connect the device to a computer that has synced the device and unlock things with a sync.
If you have never synced with iTunes then you can try this:
1.Hold the Lock Button
2.Slide the Slide To Power Off slider [If touch is disabled/you're unable to slide it, do a hard reset — hold the lock and home button until the Apple Logo appears]
3.When your iDevices powers up, immediately exit the app that automatically opens.
4.Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access
5.Click Set Passcode
6.Enter new password
7.Reboot again.
8.Wait for the app to automatically open and Triple tap the home button
9.Enter the new password

In case i forget my guided access passcode/password.. will i be able to retrieve it or is there a way around to access my phone normally again

I have been using guided access on my phone. Recently (i am a part of a testing (QA) team for a gaming company), I have come across a situation where another person has enabled the guided access with a passcode which now no one is aware of. And ever sice, we were unable to test on that device. So i wish to find out if there is anyway around this system of guided access. Or if there is any possible way to retrieve the already entered passcode.
It would do us a great favor if you guys could help us out.

I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

Barry

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

HT5509 I do not know the passcode to disable guided access

All you have to do is triple-click the home button and then tap end.

LOST PASSCODE IN GUIDED ACCESS

Passcode was lost on an ipad while in guided access. cannot get in to it to do anything. have tried suggestions on the help site but unfortunately the device was not synced to any computer before use. no back up. want to start it from new but can't do anything with it.

Hello Karen,
The only way to get passed this is to put your iPad into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. Check out the article below to walk you through those steps so that way you can use your iPad again.

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

Hello alimoshkforoush,
It sounds like you forgot the password for the Guided Access session. Try resetting your iPhone:
Reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can’t restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep.Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Guided access has Ben activated no password I can not get the red slider bar to shoe up when I hold the off and the home bottom down, it comes back to sarfri , I also tried over ten times to enter a passcode, but no go

Guide access has been activated, never set a pass word,I can not get the red slider to come up by holding the off and home button, tried entering a wrong pass word 10 time to reset it but it will not . Can only use Safari.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

If you've forgotten the Guided Access passcode, I believe you'll have to restore the device: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
