HT4097 I did a reset on my iPad now it will not accept my pass ode and I'm locked out what can I do

I did a restore on my iPad I was trying to take a screen shot but did something wrong I was following a manual app anyway it turned out I preformed a reset by pushing the off button and front control button together as a result it re set it self and now it won't accept my passcode and I'm locked out what can I do can't get to apple shop as on holiday in austria

If you can't unlock the device because it will not accept the passcode, there is only one thing you can do.
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.

You may have to use recovery mode if that didn't work.

BUT .... Just for the heck of it, reboot the device before you resort to restoring and see if ithe passcode will work.
Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

    after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out.  Any ideas?

    I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
    My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
    With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
    The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
    All devices are running the current versions of everything.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

    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.

  • My wife's iTunes ID will no longer work.  Tried to reset password but did not get email, tried to reset by answering personal questions' but will not accept the correct date of birth.  Has it been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's iTunes used ID will not work.  Tried resetting the password, but email was not received.  Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further.  Has her iTunes ID been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

  • Reset ipad, now it will not load new software

    Reset ipad to factory settings, it now says it's in restore mode, it gets as far as data extraction verifies it with Apple and then will not load the software back on it any suggestions?

  • Lock screen will not accept password on iPhone and iPad.

    I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad Mini that I use with corporate eMail which has enforced use of the lock screen with a secure password. Occasionally (it feels like at once every day)  when I go to unlock my iphone or ipad after the timeout has brought the lock screen up it will not let me enter the password.
    The soft keyboard appears and the keys appear response to my touch however no letters appear in the password box. I have to power off and restart before entering the password.
    It's driving me nuts, always happens when I'm in a rush. Any thoughts on what I can do to prevent it?

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    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.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I have updated my iPad to iOS 6.0 and there are a few things which do not work now.  Crossword Solver will not accept anything but letters and logo quiz (purchased) will not connect, but the free version does. What can I do about these faults?

    My iPad 2 was updated to iOS 6.0 and now I cannot use Logo Quiz purchased version, or crossword Solver.  What can I do about this?

    Contact the developer of the apps in question.

  • HT201320 my ipad will not accept my email information and will not work

    I add all my email information in the same way as all other devices but my ipad and iphone will not allow me to set up my email account

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Tried to backup ibooks to PC using iTools, now iTunes will not open the backup folder and my iPad says that it's storage is almost full

    It appears that iTools has backed up on the iPad as well, I tried manage storage from settings but all storage settings are not enabled. I downloaded iTools on my PC and pressed the backup on iBooks in applications, it created a folder on my PC that iTunes on the PC cannot read. I stopped what was called backing up to local when I got a message from the iPad saying that storage was almost full.
    So how do I 1- repair the iPad storage
    2- backup the books in IBooks to my PC (they used to backup easily with iTunes but after the last update of iTunes they just would not)
    Thanks

    No, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
    Many thanks.
    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

  • Uninstalled Firefox using Revo Uninstaller (advanced mode) in Vista, and now Firefox will not run, period. No task in task manager. What dependencies did I screw up?

    I wanted to reinstall Firefox to get rid of all the old Java libraries still installed. I uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller in Advanced mode, and I didn't bother checking what it did this time. I know firefox needs something to exist before it will start, otherwise I wouldn't be having this problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I uninstalled Firefox with Revo Uninstaller in Advanced Mode ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.38 Safari/533.4

    Yes, it needs the user profile, I think. Granted you probably lost all your bookmarks and passwords and history and so on...
    Go to your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profile folder] and delete it (or back it up, maybe there's stuff you can scavange from there).
    Try to reinstall Firefox now. It should create a new profile.
    And the Java stuff will still be there. It is uninstalled separately at your operating system's control panel, I believe. You can disable the plugins you don't want, too. Just go into Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
    And for future reference, if you uninstall Firefox and check the box that says to delete your private data too, it will clean every single trace of Firefox from your computer. This isn't some fishy software you download from a fishy site. Firefox is clean and safe to use :)

  • I cannot utilize my iCloud account. I had an old Apple account. I had to reset to a new Apple Account. The iCloud will not accept either Apple Account

    I have an iPad Air that I bought recently. I cannot set up the iCloud account.  I had an old Apple password.  I had to reset the password.  Now iCloud will not accept
    either paseword. How can I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
