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.

  • Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

    Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.
    Message was edited by: one11archerave

    I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

  • ID and passwords not accepted by remote server

    IDs and passwords for various site - mainly banks - seem not to be transmitted/recognised. The remote site screen returns to its original state before the data was entered with no explanation of why it didn't respond. I can successfully enter these site via IE. I can also enter via Firefox on my laptop.

    Hi Bay,
    Would you please tell us that when you try to change password, have you typed the new password twice?
    The error message indicates that there could be some mistype of the new password.
    If this is a Domain Controller and you have multiple DCs, please try to reset the password on another DC to see if it works.
    Best Regards,
    Amy Wang

  • FaceTime and iMessage not accepting my Apple ID password while iCloud and App Store already accepted them?

    I cant sign in to iMessages and FaceTime while I sign in to App Store and iCloud with the same ID without any problem! Do they have different ID and password? If not tell me please what to do
    Thanks dear buddies

    Hi Friend,
    First, Where are you located and what country did you buy your phone?  Some countries have restricted facetime, ie middle east, UAE.
    Check if you signed in Facetime with your Apple ID and password (Settings>>Facetime).
    Check if you have signed iCloud in.
    Check that FaceTime is not disabled in general/restrictions. If that isn't the problem try changing dns servers on your iPad.
    Go to Contacts app and select the person you want call then tap Facetime.
    Change your address for your currently location. If not works, change it for your native country.
    If still not working, go to Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically: ON (Yes date time setting has been known to cause issue).

  • Secured wi fi network gives timeout and will not accept password.  Works on i pad and iphone

    My Macbook Pro network was secured and worked on ipad and iphone.  Now it gives me a "connection timed out" message on laptop and will not accept password.  It works on ipad and iphone.  Anyone with an explanation.  I cannot get it to let me delete from the macbook pro.  Had to set a new unsecured network to just get on internet.  Running 10.7.4 and is up to date.

    I deleted all and then set up an unsecured network.  When I go to system preferences>Network and where the Network Name is, I click join other networks, then click show networks the secured net work is still there and when I click on it, it gives me the timeout message.  This is causing a problem in trying to get my wireless printer back on line as it keeps going to this secured network.  Can you help with this problem.  I would like to remove the secured network completely from my computer.  I have gone to the Advanced and deleted all.  The only one showing there is the unsecured network.

  • I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I forgot it, I entered several passcode but did not work, now the iPad is disabled and would not connect to iTunes. What can I do to unlock my iPad

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that?

    Delete the data for the guest network on the iPhone, iPad, etc.
    Log on to the "Guest" network
    On the home screen, tap Settings, tap Wireless, tap on the name of  your wireless network, tap Forget This Network.
    Now log onto the network that you want to use, and the iPhone / iPad will connect to that network automatically in the future.
