Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Start in Single User Mode and reset your password.  Or if you are on 10.7 or 10.8, start to the Recovery partition and reset your password.  I will not detail the steps here but Google is your friend.

  • HT4865 if I forgot my screen lock out password how can I get into my ipod

    I forgot my screen lock out pass code on my ipod can i get into it??

    Back it up and restore it using iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  At the end of the restore process, when the iPod restarts and reappears in iTunes you will be given the option to restore to the backup you made at the beginning.  When it finishes, the passcode will be removed.
    This will only work if you have previously synced with iTunes after setting the passcode on your device.

    I forgot Hidden file manager password,how can i get back my my data

    If you are able to Get Info on the folder of interest go the the very bottom section Sharing and Permissions.
    You can gain access to this area by clicking on the lock in the lower right corner of the Get Info window.
    Once you have input the admin password for the computer you should be able to edit the permissions on that file/directory.

  • Forgot password-how do I get in??

    My daughters friend changed the password and doesn't remember it! How do I get into my ipod?

    No need to restore. Do the following: (If in fact you forgot the actualy iPod passcode)
    Plug in your iPod
    Go to "My Computer"
    Open your iPod's drive (usually the F Drive)
    Make sure you can see all hidden folders (If you aren't sure go to Tools, Folder Options, View Tab, and check Show)
    Open the folder "iPod_Control"
    Open the folder called "Device"
    Rename the file "_locked" to "_unlocked"

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

    You should have your stuff separate from your mom's. Delete all the apps downloaded or purchased with your mom's Apple ID and download or purchase them with your own Apple ID. Back up files and data first if possible.
