I forgot my iPad password and it is now "disabled", how do I get back in?

I have an iPad that has been issued to me from work.  I completely forgot my password, and through numerous failed attempts, I have been "locked out" of my iPad.  The home screen says that it has been "disabled."  When connecting to iTunes I am being told that I need a password to connect.  My first iPad issued from work had some technical issues and it was sent back to Apple...as a result when I received my new one I backed everything up from iCloud, and never needed to synch it with iTunes for my use.  How can I get back into my iPad?
Thank you,
Matt

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

    I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad! I need to get onto my iPad because for some assignments I use my iPad. I want to preferably factory reset it.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    ‘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

  • 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.

  • I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out?

    I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out.  What can I do to reset the password on the ipad?

    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 can't use the computer that you normally sync to then you will need to use a different computer, but you won't be able to re-sync your content.

    Firefox is suddenly not remembering or filling in any of my passwords. All of the appropriate boxes are checked in the options/security tab, but it won't remember any passwords and shows none saved. How do I get it to remember and fill in my passwords again?

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
    1. Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
    2. Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts 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" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
    3. Right-click the device in the left column of  iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
    4. When the backup is complete, select Restore
    5. When finished, restore from your most recent backup
    To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
