    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.

  • My ipad has been disabled and my computer that i use with it is not working, how do i restart it?

    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,

    You 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.

  • My iPad has been disabled due to not having enough storage for backup in iCloud. I attempted to download photos to my computer, however, I get the message that no photos were found. In the meantime, I cannot access my pad.

    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.

    Hi all, My ipad has been disabled due to incorrect password keyed. I know I can recover it by connecting it to the old pc that was used to sync with this ipad.Yet, my real problem is that that old PC has was not working any more...pls help...:(

    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
