Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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 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.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

    Did the email contain your name? Never click on a link in an email like that and do no enter any personal info after clicking in an email.
    There have been quite a few people getting these emails. They are a phishing attempt to get your personal info.

    Hi..
    Password or passcode?
    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
    Instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore
    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.

  • How do I create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" Form?

    Good Day,
    I am in need of assistance in learning how to create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" form in DW CS4.  I have researched Adobe and the Internet and I am coming somewhat empty on tutorials or step-by-step instructions.
    I would appreciate any step-by-step instructions, a link to a good online tutorial, or any other related source that can help me get from beginning to end.
    Thank you.

    Hope this work for you...
    What kind of web programming do you use for? If you use PHP MySQL, you can do it easily.
    For example I use a MySQL Table called "admin":
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `admin` (
      `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      `name` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
      `email` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
      `username` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
      `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
      `activation` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
      `level` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
      `date_registered` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
      PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
    ) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
    INSERT INTO `admin` (`id`, `name`, `email`, `username`, `password`, `activation`, `level`, `date_registered`) VALUES
    (1, 'Andoyo', '[email protected]', 'andoyo', 'andoyo', '8e67d638c0d130a4d66b2888ffc8335b', 0, '2011-09-21 10:32:16');
    Make two files, they are:
    forgot_password.php, contain form and php mail function
    error.php, a redirect page if the mail function doesn't work.
    And then, use your Dreamweaver to make a recordset, called: rsForgotPassword
    Click Insert > Data Objects > Recordset
    Name: rsForgotPassword
    Connection: adobe_cookbooks
    Table: admin
    Columns: All
    Filter: email, Form variable, =, email. Use form variable to pass the value from the form.
    Click OK
    Use if function to make the forgot function work perfectly, for example:
    If the email is entered correctly, the mail script will run
    If the email doesn't exist in the database, the notification will come out
    If they open the page directly, they have to type any keyword
    Final example:
    forgot_password.php
    <?php require_once('Connections/adobe_cookbooks.php'); ?>
    <?php
    if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
    function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
      if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
        $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
      $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
      switch ($theType) {
        case "text":
          $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
          break;  
        case "long":
        case "int":
          $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
          break;
        case "double":
          $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
          break;
        case "date":
          $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
          break;
        case "defined":
          $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
          break;
      return $theValue;
    $colname_rsForgotPassword = "-1";

  • Factory Reset Ipad Air without password?

    Hi guys,
    Need a bit of help I work in retail and have a customer who returned and ipad to us without factory resetting first and also we can no longer contact her to get the password so we can reset it ourselves.
    Is there a way I can bypass this and factory reset it without the password?
    Cheers

    I see now. It just seemed so odd without the context that you just provided.
    I have no clue how the vendor/supplier relationship works with Apple, but I would contact them and explain the situation. I have to believe that they have a way of dealing with this issue with their resellers.
    Other than getting help from Apple, there isn't anything you can do unless she is willing to cooperate. I would be tempted to take legal action against her if I could.
