My child has put in the wrong password on my phone multiple times, my iPhone now say "iPhone has been disabled connect to iTunes" When I hook my phone up to iTunes, iTunes then says that my iPhone can not be hooked up to iTunes because it has a password on it, but will not allow me to put in a password because the disabled message is still showing. What is the next step?
You may need to put the iPhone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the phone and restore/resync your content to it.

My Ipod is disabled for the wrong password can't connect to itunes
My daughter has forgotten her password to get into her ipod touch, it is now disabled and says we must connect to Itunes. However I do not have the original laptop her ipod was synced to, and upon reregistering it does not connect to itunes and says I must enter a password for the ipod before it will connect. Not real sure what to do now? I called support but they want 29.99 to have a 1x support session. Does anyone know what I can do to unlock this ipod??? Please
Place the iPod in Recovery mode and connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. If you do not have a backup. you have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

The iPod displays a "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" When I connect to iTunes, iTunes tells me to enter the pin on the ipod. No option is ever displayed to enter my pin. What do I do.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
im an amateur when it comes to this stuff, but catch on quickly. i have found all sorts of push these two buttons, hold and wait for apple, plug in, and that is where i get stuck...........ugh!
Have you tried either of these methods to restore?
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -

I have followed the steps provided by apple to restore an iPod touch. It is disabled due to having the wrong password entered too many times. When I get part way through the restore process on my computer it pops up a box saying that it can't restore until I enter the passcode into the iPod. I have tried this same process over 5 times now and keep gutting the same results. It is my kids iPod and he has only had it since September. Someone please help me before I throw the thing through the window and my kid strangles me!!! Thanks!

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Try using Recovery Mode

I just got my new I pad, entered all of my information.. after confirmingm y account I realized I had put in the wrong email address. I went on my laptop to change my apple id address, then went to my ipad to purchase an app and it still had my old(incrrect) email address. I typed in the password anyway and it would not let me sign in. I only gave it one password so I don't know why it is saying my password is incorrect. Anywho, THis ipad is a pain in the ***. NEver had a mac before and already its a pain in the ***. I have read a couple of threads that are not really helpful. I read one thread on this site that showed a lady with my similiar issue and she did not get the answer she was looking for. Can some one help me so I can change the apple I.D. on my ipad. The apple I.D. on my computer lets me sign in but not on my ipad; go figure. Good job apple. please help.
i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating. I have been asking and no one knows what to do. -

‘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.

i created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the device is password enabled, Please somebody helpme
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. -
