In universal accessibility, iPad locked, cannot unlock.

I have configured my iPad to Universal Accessibilty, then left my iPad for a few moments and the screen locked. I now am unable to unlock (i.e., enter my passcode) my iPad. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

If you are using VoiceOver and can't unlock your iPad with the Passcode now, read this.

Is the iPad locked or unlocked?

Sigh...
For the last three weeks after countless of calls to Apple USA/Canada, AT&T and Rogers...I have been getting different answers everytime! Out of 40% of Apple representatives claimed that the iPad is LOCKED. While duh, it says so on Apple.com that it is UNLOCKED! When Steve Jobs announced the iPad in the keynote he mentioned "The Magical Revolutionary iPad is UNLOCKED!"
AT&T has been very unhelpful and every one of them claim that the device is LOCKED.
Who am I to believe???

US market iPads are effectively locked to AT&T because there is no other cellular provider with a compatible service, however, the iPad itself is not locked. Prior to the launch in other countries, US iPads have been used successfully with service providers elsewhere.

I forgot my pass code for my iPad and cannot open.

I forgot my passcode for my Ipad and cannot unlock. The Ipad tells me to connect to Itunes but cannot do anything until i put in the passcode. What can I do to unlock Ipad?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Hi Firenzeb,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iOS devices. Based on your description of the issue and the time you posted, this may have been related to a service interruption on the 11th, as noted here:

If you continue to have issues accessing the iTunes Store, you may find the troubleshooting outlined in the following article helpful:

Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

‘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.

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

I can't remember my passcode for my iPad so cannot access it?

I cannot remember my passcode ( 4 digits ) for my iPad so cannot access it?

Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed

Hello Guru,
Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed. when check in Easy DMS the document 123 excel file is not accessible cannot be open, it has an icon on pencil with red circle sign.
when check in SAP GUi, the padlock is unlock, file cannot be open as well with error (File C:\EasyDMS\SAP_400\PRE1234567890 could not be accessed.
how can we fixed this and unlock the document excel so that we can open it. Please advise. Thanks

Hi,
based on your description it seems to me that this original file is currently checked out for editing. So maybe another user is
editing this file and so you cannot access it.
If no other user edits the file you can try to use the function 'Exit Edit mode' in the context menu of EasyDMS. This will checkin the file again and restore the last checked in version.
Best regards,
Christoph

Cannot toggle "Access on Lock Screen" in Control Center Settings

I noticed the other day that the Control Center was disabled from accessing it from the lock screen. I went into Settings-->Control Center to turn it back on and I discovered that the "Access on Lock Screen" option is grayed-out or locked such that I cannot switch it on/off. I have no idea how this happened and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to "unlock" this option so I can view the Control Center from the lock screen. Help?

Do you think something changed with my company's security settings that disabled this option?Yes. I would consult the IT dept. at your company.

My iPad mini cannot rotate!!! but already unlock orientation

my ipad mini cannot rotate but i already try:
-reset my ipad mini
-restore

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

I updated my ipad to os 7 but after updates it asking me to put mu id but keep saying cannot unlock with this id

i updated my ipad to os 7 but after updates it asking me to put my id but keep saying cannot unlock with this id

This is Activation Lock. The iPad must be unlocked with the Apple ID used to originally set it up, or must first be removed from that accounts before you can activate it with your Apple ID. See here for information: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695

TS3274 my ipad locked because I forgot my password how I can unlock

my ipad locked because i forgot my passward how i can unlock ? thank you

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.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

My Ipad will not unlock. When I slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', but I cannot get into the pad. Was working fine yesterday, any suggestions would be appreciated. Lisa

My Ipad will not unlock. When I 'slide to unlock it speaks 'unlock key', if I touch the date it 'speaks the date', when I turn it on is 'speaks the time', but I cannot get into this ipad at all. It was working correctly yesterday, any idea's would be appreciated.

Your iPad is likely stuck in in VoiceOver mode. Try triple-clicking the home button or connecting your iPad to iTunes on your computer. You can disable VoiceOver in iTunes from the iPad's summary page by scrolling down to the Options box and clicking on Configure Accessibility.
Good luck!
