IPad2 Passcode help

I have never set up a passcode to unlock my iPad. Suddenly it is asking for a passcode to unlock the screen. I used it before bed and no one has had access to it since then. Now it asks for a code that I don't have. How can I fix this problem?

If you have tried a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears, does not help clear that message, then somehow it has had a passcode installed. Only way to clear that is to follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 which may need to be done more than once.

If none of the above work for you, then:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

No acces to MacBook with FileBrowser from IPad2, please help?

hello,
Ive got my first Mac, yeah!
I already succesfully established acces to my AirportTimeCapsule with the FileBrowser app on my ipad2. Now I want to acces files on my MacBook using the FBapp. FB recognizes my MB and im asked for a loginname and password. Access is denied everytime im using the same login and pw to start up my MB (after shutdown). What am i doing wrong? I already followed up the suggestions on the FB site (firewall-settings, sharing settings (SMB). Nothing works.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks!
Sander

I checked and all my folders are shared with everyone...
Its like the password and loginname on my MB and to access my MB via FileBrowser are not the same! Is that even possible?
I already bought the FB version because i thought using the free version was causing the problems, no effect.
Shutting down Firewall for a sec didnt make a change...
The fact im using AirportTimeCapsule cant be of any influence *** well. When i connect both, ipad and MB, directly to my router its the same issue.
Probably it will be a very simple little thing but im overseeing it...

It's a long story but I need to enter a new password because I can't remember my old passcode, Help!!!!

I need help. I was trying to sync my iphone 4s to my media in my new car and I messed around and somehow changed my passcode. Now I cannot get into my iphone. So before I make an appt with the apple genius, I thought I'd ask someone in the community. I need help!!!!!

I want to thank Allan Sampson and Dr Simie for helping me. I was finally able to reset my iphone 4s. FYI: When I was trying to sync my iphone with my car, I now realize I put a passcode on my iphone which I had never put one on it before. Anyway, I kept working on freeing up more disk space on my computer and to make a long story short, I was up past 2am working on this, but finally my iphone is restored and I have all my stuff. I now have a passcode which I am sure to not forget. Like I said, I've never had a passcode before, but I kind of like the security of it. So I think I'll go ahead and keep it.
So again, I'd like to thank you for steering me in the right direction.

Since the update, I cannot open my contacts on my iPad2. Help!

Since the update the other day, I cannot open my contacts on my iPad2. My iPhone is ok so far. I'm not sure about what to do to get it open. Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried that too and it didn't work. I can open Contacts but when I click on a name, nothing happens. The right side has three options, Create new contact, Add to Existing Contact and Share contact. If I click on add to existing contacts, a list comes up but when you click on a name, Contacts closes. If I click on create new contact, a box opens to set it up but it is small and doesn't look like the usual page to fill out for a new contact. This is so strange. My contacts are intact on the cloud and my iPhone but not on the iPad. Also, why do I lose some but not all phone numbers?
