Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

Hi,
Can anyonw help! My son cant remeber his passcode for his Ipad and I cant restore the device as the find my ipad setting is switched on, so Itunes wont allow me to retore. Anyone know how I can resolve this?
Thanks
Keeley

Hello wjkelly1808,
It sounds like the passcode lock has been forgotten so you cannot get into the iPad, and you cannot restore it becuase you cannot turn off the Find my iPad is turned on. As long as you know the Apple ID password for the account you should be able to use this article to unlock the iPad. There are different instructions for whether or not you have synced the device to an iTunes library so follow the directions accordingly.

I always change my password and with this particular one I somehow managed to forget it, I have gone completely blank and I can't remember it. I dont want to restore my phone because I don't want to delete my photos and my songs in itube....PLEASE HELP THIS IS VERY URGENT

iTunes
If you've synced your device with iTunes, you can restore your device.
Connect the device to the computer you normally sync with.
Open iTunes. If iTunes asks you to enter your passcode or asks you to allow access, try another computer that you've synced with. Or use recovery mode. (Click the link to be taken to the steps.)
iTunes will automatically sync your device and create a backup. If it doesn't, sync the device with iTunes.
After the sync is complete, restore your device.

You can't unless you have a backup on your computer or iCloud.. If you have important files on your iPad, you should always make frequent backups.

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.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1349 i have forgotten my password. how can i retrieve it or reset it?

have forgotten password. hint is old and doesn't work. can't retrieve serial number either. any ideas?

(1) What to do about a forgotten password depends on what kind of password you have forgotten. Some Apple passwords are not recoverable.
Click this link for Apple Support articles search for "forgotten password". Then use the help (if any) in the article related to the type of password you mean.
(2) How to find Apple serial numbers depends on the item.
Click this link for Apple Support articles search for "how to find serial number". Then use the help related to the item you mean.
(3) You might want to correct the MacBook, iOS 6.1.3 "Product" information
on your Profile Page.
All MacBooks use a version of Mac OS X operating system. No iOS software is runs any MacBook.
iOS 6.1.3 is an operating system that can only be used on iPhones, iPads, and iPods.

I have forgotten security questions, how can I change my password

Please could you tell me how to change my password if I have forgotten the security questions

Go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click "Manage My Account", sign in, and go to the Password and Security section. Answer the security questions and you'll be taken to a screen where you can then change them. If you've forgotten your answers, there should be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address. If the link for the email doesn't appear, as can happen if you didn't set a rescue email address or (apparently) have a .Mac email address, see the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
Regards.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.
