i forgot my ipad log in password...what do i 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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow this.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    I had to change my password on my computer-now when I went to the IPad-2 it asked my for my passwork for the hotmail. I entered the new one but it said

    If you mean that you you cannot access your email in the mail app - you need to change the password in the mail settings.
    Settings>Mail>Hotmail Account - tap on the account and change the password and then change it in the incoming mail server and tap on the SMTP server under Outgoing Mail Server, tap on the SMTP server under the Primary Server heading and then change the password in there as well.

    Hello there abad6778,
    It sounds like you need help retrieving the Apple ID email address and resetting the password for the account that was used to setup the iPhone. This link should help you find your Apple ID:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    And this one should help you reset the password for it once you find it:

  • HT1212 i forgot my IPad password.  How can I open my IPad?

    I forgot my IPad pass word.  What can I do?  I try to answer the security questions but they don't appear to be correct. 

    For your iPad's passcode, follow the instructions on the HT1212 page that you posted from, they tell you how to reset a device : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled.
    If you've also forgotten your answers to your account's security questions (being able to answer them won't get you access to your iPad, that needs your passcode) then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security.
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses.

  • I forgot my ipad password. My Ipad is disabled what can i do

    I forgot my ipad password so my ipad is disabled what can I do to get it activated.

    Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
    If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

  • I forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    i forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    There is only one solution.  You will have to restore your iPad via your computer in iTunes.  Do not restore from backup as you can't remember your password.  You'll have to restore as a new device and resync everything all over again.  Next time, write your password down for future reference.

  • What do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    what do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    Have you ever connected this iPad to your computer? Looked at the manual (it is bookmarked in Safari)?
    1. Use the USB cable that came with your iPad, connect one end to the dock on the iPad, the other end to your computer.
    2. When iTunes on your computer opens, click on the name of your iPad. It will appear on the very left hand frame under the heading DEVICES.
    3. Move to the right and make sure the tab that says Summary is open. Look down on the page and you will have a selection for Restore. Click it.
    4. When asked select Restore as a new iPad, not Restore from Backup.
    5. Wait for the Restore to finish. Do not interrupt it before it is done or disconnect.

    ‘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.
     Cheers, Tom

    what should i do if i forgot my ipad mini password

    Follow the directions in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If your device is disabled because you tried too many times, you need recovery mode.  You'll need to try this a few times to get it to work, so be patient:

    Next time, write down your passwords and store in a safe place.
