How can i reset my ipad after forgoten password

i dont know how to reset my ipad, i forgot my password,i have message (ipad is disabled connect to itune)

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will probably have to use recovery mode

    Tammy,
    Unfortunately your iPhone is just a paper weight. Return it to the pawn shop for a refund.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 explains the "Buyer Beware" facts:
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in toicloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

    You may have to do this several times.
    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 canceling 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

  • How can I reset my iPad that I forgot the password to my linked account.

    My iPad is linked to an old gmail account of mine that I believe has been hacked.  I have tried everything to
    reset my gmail password and it hasn't worked.  I think someone changed all of my information.  I have
    tried to reset my iPad by holding down the home button and power button and connecting to iTunes.  I
    did the restore but now it is saying "This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID
    that was used to set up this iPad."  It provides me with the Apple ID: m*****@gmail.com and wants me
    to enter the password but I don't know the password and have tried everything to retrieve it.  There's nothing
    on the iPad so I don't care about erasing any data.  How can I reset the iPad so that I can use it?  Is there
    another method besides the one I have already tried?

    If your iPad is running iOS 7, there is no way you're going to be able to regain access to your iPad without the password for the Apple ID used by that iPad. You cannot even restore the iPad to factory settings without the password. This is an anti-theft feature.
    You will need to contact Apple and try to regain control of your Apple ID. It is entirely possible, however, for the hacker to make changes to your Apple ID that would make it difficult or impossible to do that. You need to act as quickly as possible!

  • How can i reset an ipad if if dont have the apple id

    i just wanna find out how can i reset this ipad i just bought it from a guy and it ask for a password and he doesnt knoe it and i am not able to do it

    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which makes it difficult for anyone to use or sell stolen iPad.
    With Activation Lock, the Apple ID and password of original owner will be required to:
    1. Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    2. Erase your device
    3. Reactivate and use your device

  • How can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google.

    how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.

    Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
    If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

  • How can I reset my IPad?  It won't take my code and it is the only one I know I have.

    How can I reset my IPad?  I've tried twice and had the passcode that I use to unlock my IPad rejected.  Should I be using my apple.com password?  I'm afraid to try again as it might lock the IPad.  I don't remember any other code.  My Wifi and 3G won't work.

    Your password for your Apple ID is not the same as the passcode for the screen lock on your iPad unless you set it that way deliberately, enabling the extra-long passcodes (the standard is a four-digit number). If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod 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 iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

  • How can i reset my IPad password if i am locked out

    My Ipad is disbled and i dont have the computer that i last synced it on how can i restore my IPad or change the password so i can get into it?

    Old thread, I know, but since it's one of the higher google hits for this issue:
    1. Connect the iPad to your computer. Dismiss the message that it's passcoded and can't connect.
    2. Hold down the Home button and the Lock button until it restarts and then presents you with the "Connect to iTunes" graphic.
    3. iTunes should then prompt you that it has detected an iPad in recovery mode and let you restore it.

  • How can I reset an iPad that won't stay on. I need to clear it and start again

    I had a new iPad mini retina and it worked ok for a couple of days then started turning on and off in a loop until the battery died. Even when charging it turned on and off constantly not leaving enough time to sync with iTunes or reset.  Anyway apple replaced it today. I have come home. Charged it and synced with the last backup and guess what it happened again. Obviously it's something in the backup. So my question is. How can I do a major reset

    It doesn't stay on long enough it turns off as soon as the apple disappears. But thank you for the reply.
