How can I erase everythinh on the iPad and start again from scratch ?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.

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 canceling 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.

I need help to log out from my stolen Ipad. please help.
If you had installed iOS 7 it would be Activation locked, but I see you only have iOS 5. You do have a backup of you iPad files on your computer or iCloud, don't you?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
Stolen iPad Database
http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.
Hi Everyone
Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties. -
I lost my restrictions password and want to reset my ipod so i can put a new one on, when i try reset it it makes me put in my device password and restrictions password! How can i reset my ipod if i need the restrictions password which is why i am resetimg my. Ipod
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

Hi, just wonder anyone can help. i lost my ipad few weeks ago (already reported to police in UK but they arent helpful), and when i logged in to my apple account, i found another person email added to my apple account (but has not been verified). what can i do to trace ? my ipad hasnt been registered with apple before i lost it, can i registered now (as i still have the package) and then supply the serial no. to apple so they can block that ipad??
i am based in london, but seems now the apple account based in USA.. very strange.
i am using iphone as well, so beforei lost the ipad, when i download apps, it download to both iphone and ipad.
i am not sure what i can do to make apple aware of the lost ipad, as i havent registered my ipad before i lost it. or can i registered now and report a lost??
appreciate any advice..
thanksThe only tracking feature Apple offers is the one tied to your iCloud account (https://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my-iphone.html). If you did not have an iCloud account set up on the iPad, or did not have the "find my iPad" setting enabled under that account's settings, then you cannot track it remotely.
There is nothing you can do but hope the police do something, or you find it yourself. Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen property.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
However, I hope you IMMEDIATELY changed your AppleID password when you noticed the added email - the only way someone could do that is if they know both your AppleID primary email address AND your current password. -
I lost my iPad mini while traveling recently. I tried using the Find My iPhone App (which showed my iMac, my iPhones, my old iPad, and my macbook) but the mini didn't show up...probably because it was turned off or the battery ran down.
I still have the original receipt from when I purchased it, showing the article number and the serial number. Is there any way to locate it with that info?No, unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it.
Have you reported it to the police in case somebody hands it in ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier. -
I have forgot my Ipad password and can't get it to unlock,can anyone help me????
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

I lost my iPad mini how can I find it?
I lost my iPad mini how can I find it?
If you had "Find My iPad" enabled then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
I have lost my iPad. How secure are my data ?
I have lost my iPad.
Unfortunately I have not activated the Search my iPad function.
The iPad is locked with the code.
How secure are my data ? Is it possible, that someone get into my data ?Anything is possible, but having it locked is good. You need to change your Apple password. The finder may reset to factory settings which will delete all your data.
