If you forget your cover lock passcode, how do you reset it?

If you forget your cover lock passcode, how do you reset it?

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you 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.

  • How  do you delete your free books?, how  do you delete your free books?

     

    Click on the book that you want to delete (right click) then a dropdown list should come out. Select Delete then a dropdown box should pop-up and ask you if you want to delete this book from the Mac. Select delete. Either a cloud will appear on the book or it will be deleted. If the cloud appears then sign out of Ibooks. That should do the trick.

    what todo if you forget your passcode and ipod is disabled?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
