How do I change my iPad mini's SIM PIN when I cannot remember what the original PIN was?

I went to enter a new PIN so I could lock my iPad's SIM card and was asked to enter a number. At some point, I must have entered a number already, because I got a message that I had entered the wrong one.  I can't seem to choose the "change PIN" option, probably because I can't recall the original one. How to I change the SIM PIN? What happens if I use up all my chances at entering the PIN and don't hit on the correct one?

Thank you for the reply.
I have one chance left to enter a number and then I will be locked out of
4G service.  So, I have not tried 1111. What will that number do?
When I log into MyVerizon, it does not offer "view all" as an option under

There is no place I can find that provides with a PIN or PUK. I have tried

    You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
    Did you back up the device?

    My daughters friend changed her password on her ipod touch and can't remember the password and when she guesses and gets it wrong, it disables her ipod.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem??

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • How do I do "Find My iPad must be turned off-" when I cannot get past the iPad "Enter Passcode"?

    I reset the passcode on the iMac, but I cannot retore the iPad because it wants the passcode entered. It does not recognize the passcode was set on the iMac and instead displays: "Find My iPad must be turned off before "<iPad name>" can be restored. Go to iCloud Settings on your iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad." I'm chasing my tail with this because I cannot get on the iPad iCloud Settings to turn off Find My iPad. I'm running iOS 7.1 and the iPad is backed up and synced to the iMac. What can I do?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • How do I change my Ipad to access Itunes store in a different country than the one I usually use and have my account with?

    I usually use the Itunes application on my Ipad in FRence and use the French Itunes store. I am now in Cyprus and after synchronising my Ipad there I now can access the US Itunes Store but my purchases are refused as my account is with the French Itunes store.  How do I either open an account with the US Itunes store or revert to the French Itunes store on my Ipad?

    synchronising is not the problem i think, you need a new US apple id. i only have a malaysian credit card but i have separate ids for US UK and Malaysia. i have travelled to these 3 countries and have home adresses in each country but for buying stuff, I use an iTunes store card instead of a credit card cos its easier. you do not need a credit card that must have billing address from the same country as the iTunes store. So I would suggest if you are currently based in the US go the nearest apple store buy an iTunes store card (i buy in multiples of US$100 with a credit card) and use your current US home address as the US iTunes address.
    so log off your french iTunes store account, create new US apple id for your iTunes store account using your current US address and then redeem your itunes store card and voila you are set to go. (did i mention you will also need a new separate email address for the new apple id) i have one each from gmail, yahoo and hotmail for each separate id.
    the only drawback is that when you want to do an update for the apps that you buy from the different iTunes store, you must log in to that iTunes store account ie if you buy an app from the US store you must log in and update with the US store id and to update the apps from the French store you must log off from the US store and log in again with the french store id.
    hope this makes sense to you.

  • How do I reset an iPad 2 to factory defaults when I can't recall the Restriction passcode?

    I have tried all of the suggested reset methods and still cannot reset to factory defaults. Somehow I setup a restrictions passcode that I can't find or remember so I seem to bee stuck.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • How can i fix my ipad mini? because it keeps on restarting repeatedly.

    how can i fix my ipad mini? because it keeps on restarting repeatedly.

    Ideally the best thing to do in this situation is a soft reset, press and hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
    The factory settings option you've gone for should resolve this as well, but unless you've backed up you will lose content with this option.

  • How do I prevent apps from changing my ipad mini volume?

    Apps such as games, video, etc., change my ipad volume by themselves. E.g., if I have the volume set low because, for instance, the baby is sleeping, I don't want a video, a game or such pumping it back up arbitrarily. It seems there should be a setting to turn this off, but I can't find it. Any suggestions?
    Chris

    Check the app settings in whatever app you are using and see if it has a volume setting. But even if it does, as far a as I know, those in app settings are only using the device volume settings anyway, so I'm not sure that would do any good.
    I know that when I am done watching a movie on my iPad, when I return to normal use, it increases the volume on its own and I have to turn the volume down again if it is too loud.
