Is the iPad charged? Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

Changing Screen Lock Code

Having bought a used 5th Gen iPod from a store I discover that it already has a screen lock code set. Neither myself nor the store know what the existing code is for me to enter and thereby change the code.
Is there a way around this? Does a full restore also restore the code to factory settings so I can start anew?

Thank you, I did a restore anyway to solve other problems, but as it is still reloading the iTunes library I have yet to discover what happened to that code.

Seriously Screwed All Bcus a Screen Lock Code

I changed my screen lock code and went to change it but realised i had forgotten it. Went down to the computer to find what to do and it said restore. Thats all fine and good so i updated my itunes like it said but now the USB port wont recognise my iPod for me to restore it..What do i do?

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

‘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.

TS3274 I can't remember my iPad lock code

i locked my ipad with a pass code and I cant remember the 4-digit number I used. what do I do?

If you've forgotten the passcode then 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 re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : 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.

I don't know my screen lock code!!

Hello. I am totally new to iPod. So I hardly know what to do. I was fooling around with my iPod one day,then I accidentally screen locked my iPod. It began to vibrate a little after I locked it,but when I turned my iPod off and on again,the screen lock was on!! How do I figure out my code?

Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

How to cancel screen lock code ?

I creat the screen when I set the email with exchange mode
but how to cancel the lock code after I delete this email account
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When slected off, did it prompt you for a password/pin to confirm? Try this:
1. Turn it off.
2. Close the card and dont do anything else.
3. Immediately shut down the phone, hold down power button for the option.
4. Turn it back on.
Does turning screen off and on promp password again still? If so, the next step will be to partial erase the device by going into device info and tap reset options.

Set a second screen lock code for parents

Can I set a second lock code to use on the lock screen to access my childs phone?

There isn't a way to do that. With the phones that have Touch ID you could add a second fingerprint which would allow access (except that a passcode is still required when restarting).

Forgotten Screen Lock Code

As simple as it sounds, I forgot the code to my screen lock, and I'd like to be able to use this feature, but I cannot create a new code until I submit the old (forgotten) one.
Is there any way around this?

Connect the iPod to your computer with your iTunes library that you normally sync with, and it will unlock.
