Ipad asking for passcode but I dot have one

I Have been locked out of my iPad mini. After updating it is asking for a passcode. I have never used a passcode before.

Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

New iPad asking for passcode but I never set one - how do I unlock a code never set?

Just got my new iPad yesterday, have no kids or anyone else around who would mess with it while I'm in another room - go to wash the dishes, come back and it's asking me for a passcode to unlock. I had it running all last night - turned off, turn on, sync with macbook pro, blah blah blah, everything is great until tonight. What's going on? How do I unlock it?

Ipad mini is asking for passcode but none was ever set

My iPad is asking for a passcode but there has never been a passcode set. Why is it even asking. It won't let me do anything, and after three tries has locked it up.

Unforunately someone has set up a passcode who had physical access to the device

Can't get onto iPad asking for passcode never set one up

I download ISO 7 yesterday and now can't get onto my iPad as it's asking for a passcode ...I haven't ever had a pass code or been asked.. Help?

Does your screen look like this (below?). My sister called me with the exact same problem after updating to iOS7 on her iPad Mini. She was convinced she didn't have a passcode! She hadn't realised that she'd set one up as part of the iOS7 upgrade, which you will have done by default unless you hit the 'skip' button on that stage of the setup. Are you sure you didn't type something in whilst upgrading to iOS7 without realising this was going to be a passcode? When I asked my sister to think back to what she'd done she remembered what she typing and unlocked the iPad using the same word! I hope this helps

Sky Go asking for upgrade but i already have full package

I can only seem to watch sky news via the sky go app on my phone, when i try to acess other channels its asking me to upgrade or cancel, yet i have the full sky package as it is surely it should work? any solutions?

I've noticed that I can't log in to certain sections of my account.I think it's that. The system cannot access that underlying data to validate our accounts. As such, can't use Sky Go at all.

HELP! Ipad 2 suddenly asking for passcode

Here's the situation, my dad's ipad 2 suddenly asking for passcode, which he never use one. Ever. He doesn't even know how to put one. And I have seen a lot of "Restore" ideas to solve it through itunes. But the problem is, I never connected his ipad on my laptop which means my itunes doesn't know the device and vice versa. I think it will need to click trust first in the device, right? But how can i click it when I cannot open the ipad because of that passcode. This is too confusing. Please help me

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

I install the iOS 7 and the ipad asks for a code, I never put it a code

I install the new ios7, the installation when witohout a problem, but in the gettin started part, the ipad asks for a code, I never put one, so I cannot use the ipad because of that.
I can not restore it, because it aks me to go to adjust and shut down the find my ipad part, I can not get past the code.

Here it is how I solve the issue. I downloaded the iOS 6.1.3 of my device and installed via ITunes. Then a message of error appear and the ipad when directly to restore mode. Then I Just restore it and That Was it.
So I can tell That the Main issue is That iOS 7 does not have the restore mode option.
You know the one where you press the home button, then the sleep button and release the home button.

Ipad is asking for passcode and i have never had one

i updated to new operating system the other day, and when i went to use it safari was missing. i have now just turned on again and its asking for a passcode to enter but i have never used a passcode before, so i cant get in. i have synced the ipad, and tried restoring but it says a passcode is required but i dont have one. please help as i need to use my ipad. thanks

Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

I got locked out from my iPad mini during setup, keep ask me for passcode but I didn't set one up. Reboot unsuccessful, iTune won't let me connect because I didn't enter my passcode. How to fix this?

I got locked out from my iPad mini during my initial setup. Keep ask me for passcode but I haven't setup one. Reboot and restart didn't solve the problem, tried connect to iTunes but it won't let me because it requires the passcode. Tried my Exchanged password, Apple ID password and my iPhone passcode but none work. Any idea to resolve this?

Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost.
