I never set up a passcode; however, my ipad is requesting a 4 digit passcode. I tried 0000 and other passcodes until it was disabled. Any ideas?

Is it asking for your Apple ID password or the passcode to unlock the phone?
If it's asking for your passode, use the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 -

You might like to look at this post in particular and others by shuntfield in this thread:/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E71-Auto-Remote-Lock/m-p/420626/highlight/true#M34724
Although you haven't knowingly set a password AFAIK it is possible to change it to new one using the remote lock feature.

My I pad broke after only a few months and now they won't mend it as they say they can't get in as my i cloud password not working. I never even set one up? I have an apple id and password but that's not enough for them to get in.
Welcome to the Apple community.
It's your Apple ID and password they want. -

New iPad asking for passcode but I never set one - how do I unlock a code never set?
Just got my new iPad yesterday, have no kids or anyone else around who would mess with it while I'm in another room - go to wash the dishes, come back and it's asking me for a passcode to unlock. I had it running all last night - turned off, turn on, sync with macbook pro, blah blah blah, everything is great until tonight. What's going on? How do I unlock it?
Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again. -

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.
DesparateSo I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases -
My hp 2450 is asking for a password which I never set up
I am trying to set up my printers wifi and its asking for a password but i never set one up and don't know where I would find it
Again, is the printer finding your routers SSID? Input the password for your network and connect. You need to be much more detailed on your setup and troubleshooting steps.

Why does my iPad ask me for my Apple password everytime I open it up? I have my Itues password entered in SETTINGS.
When I log on, my screen is enlarging itself and the items on the top and bottom get pushed out of screenn view....I have to move the screen up/down, right left to access some icons?It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there. -

Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top? I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop. I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL. It is WIFI and internet via AT&T? Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings??? Thank you very much!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
