Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
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.

‘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.

I have a new iPad Air and it is asking for my Passcode which I thought I knew , but it is not turning on with the code I tought I had entered?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Welcome to the Apple Community Robin.
Contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan. -
I have an ipad 2, just downloaded the new upgrade 7.03, and now it is asking for a passcode. I do not have a passcode. Anyone have any idea how I can get around this or is there a default passcode?
I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring. -
This was no help. I'm still being asked for a Passcode!
Will it not open without a passcode?
Trr using your Apple ID password.

Just upgraded my iPad Mini to iOS7. Asking for a passcode
I've never given my iPad Mini a passcode.
I've just upgraded it to iOS7. The process never asked me for a passcode, either. Then, when I started it up after the upgrade, the first thing it asked for was a passcode.
I tried the usual "default" type codes, like 1111 and 0000 but it has now locked me out and says the device is "disabled".
Any ideas, please? How can I get this thing working again, and avoid the same happening again?
Thanks.
TomOK, success.
Used recovery mode and restored from the backup created as part of the iOS7 upgrade. This time, when the iPad started, it asked me things like whether I wanted Location Services on, and THEN said that if I wanted to use "Find my iPad" I'd need a passcode. On the previous start up, all these introductory steps were missing and the iPad went straight to asking me for a (non-existent) passcode. This is clearly an example of the installation bug mentioned in the Australian news item I posted above.
Anyhow, I now seem to be running, with no loss of data, just a fraught hour of my time.

I activated my cloud membership and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. Today, I downloaded Lightroom 5.6 and it asked for a serial number before it would open. Why did the same serial number that worked 2 weeks ago not work now?

I have just went to use my airplay and my airplay is asking for an apple passcode which I didn't set any suggestions
In the Airplay settings section on AppleTV there should be an option to enable/disable Airplay a password - basically used to stop someone hijacking someone else's AppleTV display unless they know the code.

I have a new Mac. I turned it off and it is asking for my password which I never set up yet
I turned off my new Mac and when I turned it back on it is now asking for my password which I had not set up yet. I have tried every password I can think of, nothing works so now I cannot use my Mac. Also, a password is set for Administrator but I did not set one so I cannot change it.
Welcome,
First you say "new Mac" which one exactly. Year and size? If you didn't set up a password that prompt might just be blank. How did you set it up originally? -

Why is my iPad asking for a passcode at startup?
Just updated iPad to ios 7 and its now asking for a passcode. It didn't have one before and I'm now locked out. Is there a default passcode? How the **** do I get back into it?
The iPad requires a sim card to run on a carriers cellular data network. The only other way would be to connect the iPad to wifi to provide it with an internet connection.
