‘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.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
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 have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

Does any one know how to unlock the touch if you have forgotten the passcode?

Does anyone know how to unlock the i-pod touch if you have forgotten the passcode?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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.

If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device.

You can't. You'll need to connect your iPod to iTunes and restore it. If iTunes asks you for the passcode, place the iPod into recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

I have forgotten the passcode of the iPod and now its locked, I can't even remember the iTunes log in so someone please let me know the procedure how to recover the iPod

My 8 year old daughter has forgotten her passcode for her iPod touch and got it locked in the process of trying to recover. now after resetting its requesting for a iTunes login but i tried both mine and my wives and its not accepting. please someone let me know how to proceed with recovering this.

Hi maveric19,
If you can't recover the passcode, follow the steps in this article.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
That should get you going again.

HT201304 What to do if i have forgotten the passcode?

Is anyone can tell me what to do so that I could open the "Restriction" programme.

Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but not the apps themselves. They should be in your iTunes library, or you can re-download them from the app store using the same ID used to purchase them originally.
If you restore the backup, you will restore the restrictions settings, putting you right back where you started.

I can't remember the passcode for my iPod touch, what should I do?

I lost my access code of my IpodTouch, what should I do

If you meand the screen-lock passcode,
