I've put my iPad in guided access and can't remember the password, what should I do?

I can't remember the password to get out of guided access, help?

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1414 My iPad is disabled because I couldn't remember the password. I can't restore it because I have to turn off "Find My Phone" first. Since it is disabled, I can't do that either.

My iPad is disabled because I can't remember the password. I cannot restore it because in order to do that, I need to turn off "Find My iPad." I cannot turn that off because the iPad is disabled. I don't know what to do.

I had this problem. One day I went to use my iPad and it said disabled... I went to itunes to restore it and I got the same message you got to turn off Find My iPad but couldn't because I something was wrong with my password. My iPad only uses Wifi and I noticed it wasn't connected to my wifi (yet, I'm at home) so I couldn't go to iCloud and wipe it. I did find this to be helpful and now I'm back and running:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

I can't remember the password to my other iTunes account and don't have access to the email. When I enter my birthday, it says it's wrong. My account has now been locked. What can I do?

I don't know what to do. I don't have access to my email and I can't remember the password to change it. I have a new Apple ID but I would like to use this one. It says my birthday is wrong so I don't know what to do.

I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?

I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1 to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this? Each time I try a different password (trying any that I thought I might have originally used) it times out the tablet for up to an hour before I can try again. Help?

You can restore the device. That is what you have to do if you forget the passcode. You don't have to worry about syncing to your own computer either since you don't want to restore your data - you want to wipe it clean. Read these articles for more instructions

Sometimes you may not be able to bypass the passcode at all when you try to restore. You may need to restore by putting the iPad into recovery mode. I have heard from some users that they did not have to do this when they restore after forgetting the passcode - but just in case you need the information, this will help you with that procedure.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Do you mean that the iPad is on the activation screen ? If it is then does it not show the first letter of your email address and the provider e.g. similar to :
If that is what you are seeing then you don't remember any email account that you had starting with that letter with that provider ? If not then do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
Or see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
If you cant remember or find your id then you won't be able to use your iPad

My Ipad was hacked. I can not use it. What should i do?

My Ipad was hacked. I can not use it. What should i do?

Then call Apple and speak to someone in account security. Someone has logged on to iCloud using YOUR Apple ID and used Find my iPad to lock the device. They are now, apparently, trying to collect a ransom from you to release it.
The device was not hacked. Your account was. If you had set up two factor authentication, that wouldn't have been possible. You should really do that after you get this fixed.
You may also want to report the extortion attempt to the police.

I am suck in an app on my phone due to guided access however i dont know the password

i am currently stuck in an app due to guided accsess however i dont know the password ... how do i end guided access asap !?

If you've forgotten the Guided Access passcode, I believe you'll have to restore the device: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

What iTunes are you using? If you connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes on your computer you should e able to select your iPad in iTunes on your computer. Then select Sunmary in the right window and scroll down to find the option to restore.
