I forgot my pass code for my iPad and cannot open.

I forgot my passcode for my Ipad and cannot unlock. The Ipad tells me to connect to Itunes but cannot do anything until i put in the passcode. What can I do to unlock Ipad?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

    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 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.

  • TS1702 I have purchased sky sports for my ipad and cannot get it set up

    I have just purchased sky sports for the ipad and cannot get it set up, the only thing I manage to see is sky sports news, can anyone help please

    Try restarting the iPad (the red "swipe to power off", then power back on). That may get the movie to appear in the Videos app. If not, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad and forgot it. how do you fix this?

    My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad2 and forgot what it was. How do you fix this?

    If she's forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then she will need to connect the iPad to the computer that she normally syncs to and she should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync her content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - she may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : 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.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    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.

  • I put a restrictions pass code on my iPad and forgot the password. I tried to reset it to factory settings but that means I lose all my purchases and I don't wanna lose $ 25 worth of purchases. I tried restoring it but brings back restrictions code....

    How do I get rid of the restrictions pass code but keep my apps?

    You won't lose purchases. They can be downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer and backed up.
    You can also redownload your purchases directly from your iPad after the restore by signing into the iTunes and App stores with your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes Store app > Purchased
    Open App Store app > Purchased

    ibooks bought from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, they can't be read on ebook readers nor on a Mac or PC (the book's requirements should be listed on the left-hand side of its description page in the store).
    If you don't have an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then you try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933), but all sales are normally considered final, so you might not be able to get a refund or credit
