HT1212 How do I wipe my locked Ipad?

I am locked out of my Ipad and I want to just wipe it. How to I wipe it from the locked screen?

Hello nicole.b0799
Follow the steps quoted below from the article that you came from. That should get you to restore your iPad.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Regards,

    how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

    If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
    If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

  • HT1430 How do I fix my locked IPad that can not connect to ITunes

    My IPad is disabled with a passcode on it and I can not connect to ITunes like it is telling me in order to reset it.  How do I get back into the IPad to fix this problem?  Also, I don't remember the passcode.  It is from my IPad 1 and I am trying to fix it for games for my 5 year old son.

    ‘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.

  • HT1212 How do I reset passcode when ipad is disabled

    how do I reset passcode when Ipad is disabled

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • HT1212 How do I get into my iPad if it is locked and I don't have the PC that it was set up on?

    I am locked out my iPad and it says disabled, I have downloaded a new iTunes and I still cannot do it, can anyone help please

    Hey Paulm2012,
    I see you came from the article iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode. If you haven't already, following the steps within that document should solve the issue. If you did follow along with those steps and it didn't work for you, can you tell us what happened?

  • How can I reset a locked ipad that doesn't react anymore?

    Hey guys!
    i have a problem:
    Yesterday all of a sudden my iPad didn't work properly anymore. At first it was flashing ins stripes with different colours. I tried to fix it by shutting the iPad down, but since it was flashing to much it was not possible to click on "shut down". Therefore i just locked it.
    After a while I wanted to try again, but as i pressed the home button, the screen got a little lighter, but it didn't turn completely on. (The screen was almost black and you couldn't see any buttons or anything else). And now it even stays completely black and doesn't react to anything anymore.
    I wanted to reset the iPad to get to know if it's a hardware or a software problem, but it is locked with a code and since it's not reacting anymore i can't enter it.
    By now I've also never synchronised my iPad with my computer. 
    What can I do? Does anyone have an advice for me?
    How can I reset my iPad without entering the Code in the iPad itself?
    Thank you for your help everybody!

    Hopefully you should be able to reset your iPad, therefore try this: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    The Apple logo ought to appear after about 10 seconds.
    If you don't see the Apple logo, then this could be bad news.
    Normally, the following instructions will resolve a forgotten passcode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    But if you can't see anything on the screen, then it's bad news again.
    If you have never synced your iPad with iTunes nor with iCloud, then you won't have a backup of your iPad either. Yes, more bad news, because the data on your iPad is most likely lost.
    Try to get at least some life back into your iPad in order to save the data of your device via a backup.
    Good luck!

  • How to unlock a carrier locked iPad 1?

    I have a iPad that was bought on contract on Orange.
    I have a 3 sim and when I try it, I get a message in iTunes "The Sim card inserted in this iPad does not appear to be supported"
    I am guessing it is carrier locked, I have found a few people on the Internet that have had the issue with the iPad 2, but not sure about the iPad 1.
    Anyway, how would I go about getting it unlocked?

    If the iPad is locked to Orange, only they can unlock it, so you'll need to contact Orange customer service.
    Regards.

  • HT1212 How do you reset an unsynced iPad?

    I set my iPad up but did not sync to a computer or connect it to an apple id. In the process of setting it up, I set a password, which with pure genius, I forgot. I have succeeded in permanently locking myself out. Is there a way to reset the whole iPad? Or do I need to take it to an Apple store?

    You will need to connect it to a computer to unlock and reset it. If it's never been synced to a computer, then (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
