How can i reset my passcode if I forgot it?

I've forgotten my passcode for the restrictions on my ipad (first generation).
I tried numerous options, and was hoping that I would receive a link in an e-mail to reset it, but this isn't the case.
I am now frustrated beyond belief, and am ready to give up!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

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 change my passcode to get into my ipod. I forgot the psss code.

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

I just fixed the same problem. Here's what to do.
Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
the library folder will open
go to the keychains folder and open it
in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
drag this folder to the desktop
now restart your machine
when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix. The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password.
Good luck!!!

HT5622 How can I reset my passcode, which is different from my password?

Does anyone know if I can reset my passcode, which is different from my password? I would prefer not to reset to factory settings and lose my pictures and music.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Recovery screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

How can I reset my restriction if I forgot it

I can't reset the iPad without the restriction password and my mom doesn't remember the pass word

Hi brey147,
Unfortunately, your options are limited. If you have been backing up your iPad, you could restore an old backup that was made before you added the restrictions passcode. If you don't have an old backup without restrictions, then the only thing you can do is restore your iPad to the factory settings.
I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but I hope it answers your question.

HT4113 My daughter put a passcode on my iphone and now it disabled and wants me to connect to itunes. I did that but i am not at my home with my computer. How can I reset this passcode?

My daughter put a passcode on my iphone and now it is disabled. I am not at home where my computer is. I tried itunes already. Anything I can do?

You can only do it via iTunes. You'll have to force it into recovery mode.

How can I reset my passcode, when I dont have the original code?

My nieces were playing with Siri/phone and accidently set up a passcode on my phone, I can't unlock or open etc. Apple is no help at this moment.
Tried troubleshooting with iTunes, but an error message states the iPhone can not be syncked because passcode is locked.,

The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.
