Ipad was disabled

ipad was disabled trying to many passwords

Hello,
I'm sorry but you will need a restore.
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac/PC
Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
The iPad screen will remain, then you can restore. (You can restore from a back-up if you did one before, or you can restore from a backup of icloud if you did one before),
Cheers.

You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes, you should be able to use that to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then restore to your last backup or just resync your content to it. Follow the instructions on this page : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

‘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 cancelling 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.

Hi naanek,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The following articles may be able to help you with this:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.

My Ipad was disabled and I erased it. I have a PC windows 7 can't download Itunes.What to do?

I forgot the passcode, tried several times and got my IPAD disabled. Reading from apple support tips and I had never synched before, I erased the IPAD in order to restore through ITunes. I got another problem: my Dell (windows 7) is not allowing the download of Itunes. What I should do to restore it? Can I do the download at
an apple store?

I forgot my passcode and my ipad is disabled.I have never done a sync with a PC and I can't complete the download on my PC too

Hello, I need your help to restore my IPAD (4g - 32MG). I uptaded the IOS7 on my Ipad yesterday and I made a mistake of not writing down the passcode on a paper. After trying unsuccessfuly to have access to it, my IPAD was disabled. I went to the store I had bought my IPAD and a guy from Apple Store tried to help me. As I had never sync my IPAD with any PC before, he told me the only option was to restore my IPAD. But when he tried to restore it through ITunes on his computer, a message of error appeared and he could not do it. I have tried to download ITunes on my PC but apple support says that that is unable to run the Itunes and suggests me to unistall ITunes and try to isntall again. I have already tried three times and it didn't work...when I turn on my IPAD it shows an image asking to connect to Itunes and I can't get to ITunes. I do appreciate if somebody can help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

You will have to use recovery mode, losing all data.

HT5824 my ipad disabled after I closed it. I turned it on said ipad is disabled? Since 10S7 this has been an ongoing problem. I have not even touched the password it just disables on its own

My Ipad was disabled after I turned it off. I turned it back on 'ipad is disabled' connect to ITunes!
Why would it disable afer turning it off. I did not have a password issue. Not even once.
I have not synced on Itunes on my system sincen this Ipad was synced at the Apple Store.
Is there a way to connect on my pc to my Ipad from Icloud and restore my Ipad without loosing
everything? Or do I need to reset yet again. This would be the fourth time starting from scratch!
I had been Ipad replaced recently due to numerous problems with IOS7 including bluetooth problems
with my keyboard, freezing - crazy making issues and most importantly I lost all data on my pages
app and all contacts etc. and my ipad disabled itself after begin turned off!
Now with the new one, my same problem! What is going on? What am I not getting.
Prior to I0s& my Ipad performed beautifully. Now I do not feel I can trust this technology.
Any ideas?

Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.
