how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

You force your iPad into Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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 canceling 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.

  • How to install & use a printer driver without actually having the printer?

    I'm attempting to make a Life poster in iPhoto and I'm running into an issue with paper sizes that has been identified by other users as an issue in iLife 06. One suggestion I've seen is:
    Therefore, you have to add a new printer and chose
    one that can actually handle larger paper sizes. A
    good one would be the HP Designjet 800PS. If you
    added it to your printers and picked it you can
    magically select form within larger print sizes.
    What I can't figure out is how to add a printer that I don't actually have hooked to my computer to the printer queue so I can select it. I don't want to actually print to it, I just want to access the drivers so I can print to a PDF at a larger size than my actual printer allows.
    I downloaded the HP 800PS drivers and install them, but I can't add them through the Printer Setup Utility because it apparently will only let me access printers actually attached to my computer. Is this right?
    Or is this a problem for me because when I reinstalled the OS a year or so ago, I didn't install all the 2GB or so worth of printer drivers, I only installed the EPSON ones because that's what my printer was?
    But then I think that isn't it, because I can't seem to add any printers at all because there are none hooked up to my PB at the moment.
    Perplexed...
    TIA.
    1.25GHz PB G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1GB RAM

    I'm not sure if this will work, but you could try adding a "dummy" IP printer and use the HP 800PS driver when you create it.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 do i factory reset

    how do i factory reset

    It all depends on which phone you have. If you have the LG phones, you tap on menu and then on Settings>Storage. Scroll down to Personal data and you will see Factory Reset. If you own a Motorola, you want to tap on Settings>Privacy and you will see Factory Data Reset. You know that all the information stored on your phone will be erased and you have to start all over. You have to get a Google account (unless you already have one), set up all your Email accounts, etc. Everything on your SD card should; however, not be effected. Unless you absolutely have to do a factory reset, I advise against it, especially if you downloaded a lot of apps from the store.

  • How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

    How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer???  Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music.  My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
    Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer.  I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox. 
    Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
    thanks in advance.

    There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
    Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.

    Any machine that has a ethernet port can go wireless. It may be cheap to buy another computer.
    Ethernet Bridge
    Please note this requires mac os x 10.5 or greater to configure or windows xp to configure.

    Once configured, you can use it on any ethernet port.
    Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge.  802.11n ( I believe you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure.  Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )
