My iPad has been disabled due to wrong passcode which I have forgotten,How can open it again?I'm so desperate right now
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
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.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

Hey ade17768,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what to do if your device is disabled:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
1. Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
2. If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
3. When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
4. When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
5. Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
HT1386 ipad has been disabled due to blocked password, how to solve it?
And iTunes cannot connect to it due to the password trouble. How do I solve it???
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.

I have an ipad 1 that was jailbroken and i downloaded an app and pressed a lot of buttons and then my iPad was locked. I cant unlock it so how do i reboot it when the computer i usually use with it is not currently working? I really need help!
Thx in advance,
abigailYou are in the wrong forum if your device has been jail broken. Issues with jail broken devices are not to be discussed on the ASC site. You should probably try another forum.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Try another cable and anothen computer if necessary. Also
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

iPad4 - unable to backup due to lack of iCloud storage . The pad is frozen. Cannot access any info.
However, if the iPad is frozen, a reset may allow you to get back into it again. It hurts nothing to try this. It is like rebooting your computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

You have to restore the device within iTunes. There is no other way to do it. You need a computer. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

Hello,
My IPAD has been disabled as I lost it in the office and it was just recently returned to me. It says on the screen that IPAD DISABLED and says please try again in 22,641,304 minutes. Can you please advise how to enable this as the computer I am using now (MAC RETINA) is not the original computer that the IPAD was synced on.

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.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
