Ios7 added a screen lock password on my ipad??

My brother recently updated his ipad to ios7 and never had a screen lock password. But all of a sudden its asking for a password **** he has tried the usual 0000 etc but it disables itself for an hour or so..
has anyone had this problem & can help at all??

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, there is no way to save your iPads files. You have to restore your iPad. Connect your iPad to your PC or MAC. Open iTunes (if you don't already have iTunes, then you can download it for free on the apple website. When you see your device in the top right hand corner, select it. Then select restore device. This will delete all files and settings and revert it back to factory mode.

  • Can't remember screen lock password

    can't remember screen lock password!

    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

    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.

  • My screen lock password is not working

    my screen lock password is not working? please help!

    if you can't remember the passcode, there is only one thing you can do. DFU the iPad, restore it and set it up as a new device, you can't restore from backup because the backup will have the passcode in it. You will lose all data on the iPad. If your lucky, there will be a backup from before you put the passcode on it and you won't lose all of your data.

  • Help - Screen Lock Password Language

    Hello,
    I have the screen lock option activated, and today while this happened my keyboard was on Hebrew, my screen locked. Now I cannot change it back to English keyboard, and therefore I can't type my password in. I have tried using Caps Lock to type in English (small case, so it is OK) but that seems to be an issue too.
    Thank you,
    Hadas
    PS - I am not sure that this is my OS version, as I can't check it. However, I can say that it was bought in March 2010.

    Boot with your Snow Leopard install disk and in the menu items (when installer first starts up) will be a Reset Master Password option. Do that and boot back into the Mac with that new password.

  • Screen Lock password help!!

    I know that if you plug you iPod nano into the computer, it gets rid of screen lock, but if you forgot your password for screen lock, is there any way to find out what it was?

    Connecting the iPod to the computer only disables the lock until you select to lock it again, it doesnt actually get rid of the password. By the sounds of things, you already know that.
    If you cannot remember the password, the only way to unlock the iPod permanently and set a new one (hopefully this time one that you remember) is to Restore the iPod.
    To restore, connect the iPod, open the iPod updater and click restore. It will take around 5 minutes and will delete all the songs off of your Nano, so make sure they are all OK on the computer first.

    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.

  • Screen lock button muting the Ipad

    The screen lock rotation button on my Ipad instead of locking the screen is muting the sound, anybody know what can I do about that?

    Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
    Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and it's the button far left; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • Screen lock password requirement after iOS7 update

    hi there
    problem:
    my ipad air is requesting a passcode after ios 7 update...
    what happened?
    just bought an ipad air 32gb wifi -
    came home, went through the setup process WITHOUT activating a passcode -
    after the update my ipad asked me for a passcode
    I have no clue which passcode they are asking for, since Ive decided NOT to activate any passcode on my ipad!
    I tried to use my apple ID passcode, but it doesnt work I tried my "find your ipone" passcode but it doesnt work neither...!
    I have no clue what else I could do...the apple support articles are not helpful on this matter...
    any ideas or solutions WITHOUT resetting my ipad air are highly appreciated
    Thank you all in advance
    p.s I will also update you when Ive found a solution!

    There are no solutions other than restoring your iPad and you have to use the same instructions that you would for a forgotten passcode.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    You are not the first person that I have seen report this same thing occurring when they updated to iOS 7 or higher. Why this happens, I can't answer, but I can tell you that unless something miraculous occurs, you will have to restore the device.
    You may need to use Find My iPad or use Recovery Mode. Both are explained at the end of that kb article that I linked above.

  • Can I reset my screen lock password?

    My phone's password was locked up.  Is there a way I can reset the password without losing everything?

        missmissy452, I've been here, myself, so I know how disheartening it can be when forgetting the lock code/ assword on your phone. With the iPhone 4, there are no options to recover your password outside of fully restoring the device. The good news is that you can recover your phone based on the latest backup performed using iTunes or iCloud services. Here are the steps to restore your device http://bit.ly/11AZsoZ.
