HT201210 how do i bypass a passcode or change a passcode on an ipad

how do i bypass a passcode on an ipad?

If you know the passcode then you can go into Settings > General > Passcode Lock and tap on Change Passcode.
If can't remember the passcode to unlock the iPad 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 restore/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
If you do it via a different computer then :
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.

  • Bypassing function argument without changing default value

    Hi there
    I’m having some problems understanding how I can bypass function arguments without changing its default value. Here are some examples:
     function myFunction ( arg1:Boolean, arg2:String="default string", arg3:Number=3 ):Array
        return new Array (arg1, arg2, arg3);
    trace(myFunction(true, "new string", 5));
    // true,new string,5
    trace(myFunction(true, undefined, 5));
    // true,,5
    trace(myFunction(true, null, 5));
    // true,,5
    trace(myFunction(true));
    // true,default string,3
    trace(myFunction(true, null));
    // true,,3
    My question is: Shouldn't I be able to call a function bypass the second argument (that has a default value), change third argument and on result second argument maintains its default value?
    Example:
    trace(myFunction(true, null, 5));
    // not desired: true,,5
    // desired: true,default string,5
    I know that applying a defult value to the argument allows one to bypass it. But it will always be redefined or to null or to undefined. At the moment I only see one solution.
    function myFunction ( arg1:Boolean, arg2:String="default string", arg3:Number=3 ):Array
         if (!arg2)arg2 = "deafult string";
         return new Array (arg1, arg2, arg3);
    It just seems like too much code repeated
    Regards

    Hi dmennenoh,
    Yup, this was just an example to show that the use of a default value only helps you to bypass the need to simulate a MouseEvent Object for an onRollOver MouseEvent argument. Other than that you can never bypass it without changing its value. You must always apply a null or undefined value and work with that.
    Thanks anyway

    You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

  • TS2401 How can you bypass the passcode screen if you forget the passcode number. This is a first for me in the 4 years I have had it???

    I changed the passcode to my phone a couple of days ago and for the life of me can't figure out what it is.  I need to get into the phone but don't know how without resetting the phone to origional setting.  If I do this I will not have a phone at all can anyone help.  This is a special situation.  The phone is not on a network that carries it this is why I can't reset to origional setting.  HELP

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer your phone was synced with... this will remove the passcode.
    If you do not have access to the last computer the phone was synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

    You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

  • Someone changed my passcode! How do I reset my phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Well earlier this week, my iPhone 5c was stolen. but I got it back from the school's office. I had a passcode sent on it before so i simply entered that passcode into the phone but it wouldn't let me in at all. Now i guess you can say that the person who took my phone bypassed the passcode and changed it. I was wondering how do you reset the phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  You will need to access the computer you sync with and use iTunes.  This link will provide help:

  • My nephew doesn't remember the yahoo I'd that he used on his iPad mini. How can I bypass this?

    How can I bypass this to reset the iPad?

    Your statement makes no sense at all. Your nephew's Yahoo ID - whatever that is -  has no bearing on whatever you are trying to do to reset the iPad.
    If the iPad is locked/disabled and you can't remember the passcode, you have to restore it in order to unlock it. There is no way to bypass anything with regard to security features on the device. If you could bypass a security feature, what good would the feature do?
    Maybe this will help. But of this isn't what you are asking about, post back with more information.

  • How can you bypass a password-

    How can you bypass a password.  This is my son's phone and he is in trouble.  I need to access his phone.  The account is in my name.  ATT won't help.

    There is no way to bypass the lock screen password. If there were it would not provide any security. It's not AT&T refusing to help; they can't, because the only place the lock code is stored is on the phone. If the phone is backed up regularly to a computer or to iCloud you can restore it as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and then restore the backup. You will still need the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set up Find my iPhone.
