HT201304 how to open my ipad if i forgot the access pin

How can i open my ipad if I cant remember the access pin code to get into it?

You can't without restoring the device.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You may need have to restore the iPad that way.

    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 do I fix this error message, The address wasn't understood Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectag

    We have a new computer and I cannot get my garmin running watch to sync with mozilla. The error message that I keep getting is"The address wasn't understood
    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectagent) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
    You might need to install other software to open this address."
    Help please

    This is for a special URL that starts with
    connectagent://
    instead of with
    http://
    is that right?
    Two thoughts:
    (1) Could you try changing a setting for your Garmin plugin. Here's what I mean:
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    Find your Garmin plugin change "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".
    Your system information seems to list two different versions of a similarly named plugin. I'm not sure whether that is causing a problem.
    (2) Does Garmin's documentation specify any extra steps to set up Firefox, other than installing its add-ons?

    how to unlock my ipad when I forgot my passcode. Its been disabled for 2 days

    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 in order to be able to reset it : 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.

  • How can I isolate iPad apps so only the ones I want people to use are visible to them?

    Hello. How can I isolate iPad apps so only the ones I want people to use are visible to them?

    At the moment it's not possible, but you could try providing feedback to Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (this has come up a few times so you won't be the first person to request it).
    An alternative if you only want your customers to have access to only one app, is to look for cases that prevent access to the home button so that they can't get access to the home screen and therefore other apps. e.g. http://www.staypad.com/photos.html is a mounted case for use on walls/tables etc (there are probably others available, that is just the first one that my search found).

  • How do I restore my new Ipad? I forgot the passcode.

    How do I restore my new Ipad? I forgot the passcode.  I tried to connect it to Itunes, but I had never synced it before. So it says it can not access the Ipad because it is locked by a passcode that I need to unlock it to access it?  Uggghh!!

    This link should provide the help you need.  You are going to have to restore your iPad as a New Device since you never backed it up.  You'll then have to download your apps again (you won't be charged as long as you use the same Apple ID you downloaded them from to begin with.  You'll have to rebuild your contacts, everything.  From now on, make sure you are regularly backing up your device.
