Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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 cancelling 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.

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

I did not forget my passcode, but it's not letting me back in after upgrade to new OS

How do I get help for resetting it or fixing it. I know what the password is, but it's not working now! I am now locked out for 15 minutes...

Hi R. Weav27,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps for issues with push notifications:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.

I never set a restrictions passcode but my ipod is asking for one help?

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a reset of all settings but it asks for two passcodes, my normal one to unlock my ipod but then it asks for a second passcode called a restrictions passcode but I never set one.

What do mean by full setting reset?
A few other users has said that they had a Restrictions passcode but they said then never set one. Two possibilites.
- A glitch set one
- Someone got hold of yur iPod when the screen lock was off and added one.

Ipad frozen in voiceover mode. will not accept my passcode and has locked me out for one hour. help?

while watching movie, it failed to download remainder. I had turned it off to try to reset and then ended up freezing in Voiceover mode. It's not acceping my passcode either and I'm wondering if it reset to factory passcode. Have it hooked to my laptop and it doesn't seem to want to open there either (though maybe because it's locked). I am backed up to iCloud but how do I get it to unlock???

Try triple-click Home button (must be quick)

I am having issues with my Rezound's service... not 4G or 3G but the regular service used for calling and texting.

Okay, so a few weeks ago my phone starting acting kind of weird. I had it off for a few days and when I turned it back on, I noticed it was not receiving very good signal at all in places where it used to have full bars. I can't make calls or send texts. I can receive calls but when I answer, the call is lost. It is basically just a pager now because I just have to call the people who call me or text me using a different phone. I can't even check my voicemail! 4G and 3G are working fine... When I have gone to the Verizon store TWICE, miraculously the phone all of a sudden has service but, of course, as soon as I leave it no longer has service. I have also called tech support twice to no avail. These people are of NO HELP and my phone is out of warranty. Unfortunately, informing them that ever since I got this phone back in January of '12, I had 5 replacements in the first FIVE months of having it because it had issues over and over again that could not be lived with such as not turning all the way on, not charging, etc. After the 5th replacement starting having minor issues, I ignored them and continued using the handicapped phone. Now, this is happening and I can no longer use it as anything more than a pager/internet browser! I read that the antenna is built into the battery cover of the phone but I don't know if that is just for 4G/3G or if it is also for regular service. If I get a replacement for the battery cover, will it possibly fix this issue??

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Trying to redeem iTunes card told first time purchase on computer needs security question answered which I did not set up or know the answer to

Trying to redeem iTunes card. Was told first time purchase needs security questions answered and don't remeber setting them up to start with and I have made several purchases before without answering questions. Getting no help from Apple support. How can I make new answers for new security questions.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

How come apple did not put a flash on the iPads

It is very hard to take pics at night or dark area because there is no flash on the iPads, this needs to be updated, there are a lot of tablets out there that has a flash and take better pictures. I expected more and better from apple.

there are a lot of tablets out there that has a flash and take better pictures.
Then why didin't you buy one of those instead of the iPad?

I don't have a password but the computer keeps asking for one

I just got my macbook pro and am trying to download some applications like java but my computer is asking me for a password and I never set one up so I'm really confused on what to do. I've tried my apple ID password.

If no one else has access to the op computer or they are the only ones in their household, there is no need for a log in password.
Don't agree with you there, portables usually leave the house.
And you should never ever leave it alone. I take mine out of the home all the time. Never leaves my sight....only when inside my carrying bag which is on my body. Most of all, no one touches it. Better not breath on it either!
In all my years of using "personal" computers, I have never set up a password. Then again, maybe I should since the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body is buried deep inside my hard drive.

Pass codes were set and i did not set them now it will not reset, pass codes were set and i did not set them now it will not reset

my itouch has started asking for pass codes i did not set. i have used the same 4 digit pass code for many years. i was attempting to update to iso 7 when i went to reset the device i was prompted for the code. i tried my standard 4 dig. number. also my restriction setting is on also asking for a pass code. I have never used restriction setting EVER. i dont lock my device i dont sign out of mail. worry? no nothing to hide. it agrivates me that i learned that certain apps ive downloaded may be changing my settings and accessing information without my knowing. i dont mind the info leave my settings alone.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT4061 I cannot access my I Pad it is asking for a passcode, I did not set one, so a code has been created and i need to have it reset

I cannot access my Ipad. It is asking for a passcode, I did not set one. How do I reset this so that I can log onto my Ipad?

Hey dmplinton518,

HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.
