1st gen ipod grandaughter locked it and forgot code
My granddaughter axed looked up a 1st gen ipod and forgot code
- What is showing on the screen and what message did you get when you connected it to iTunes after placing the iPod in DFU mode. iTunes will tell you it found an iPod in DFU mode. It can be trickiy to get it in DFU mode.
- Placing ithe iPod in recovery mode, also tricky, will byspass the passcode and erase the iPod. To place in recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
This program will also place the iPod n recovery mode.

I tried to log on my new ipad and forgot the password combination. Due to several tries the ipad is locked up. I remembered the password but my ipad is still disabled. How do I get it going again?
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.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

I have 50 iPads and 50 codes, but I am not able to install the app on the last ipad using Apple Configurator. One code in the spreadsheet says it's already been used but shows no serial number or device name.
Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

One of the my kids put a 4digit lock code on my ipad and forgot what the number was
how do i unlock my ipad since we dont knw our 4 digit passcode
If you don't know 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 (or possibly restore from your backup) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad and forgot it. how do you fix this?
My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad2 and forgot what it was. How do you fix this?
If she's forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then she will need to connect the iPad to the computer that she normally syncs to and she should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync her content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - she may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!
If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support -

How do I get rid of the restrictions pass code but keep my apps?
You won't lose purchases. They can be downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer and backed up.
You can also redownload your purchases directly from your iPad after the restore by signing into the iTunes and App stores with your Apple ID:
Open iTunes Store app > Purchased
Open App Store app > Purchased -

My boyfriend changed his pass code on his iPhone 5 and does not remember it. He's tried every possible code and now his phone is disabled and says to connect to itunes. I'm wondering if there's some where we can go take it to to get the password off without having to reset the whole phone and loseall all our pictures. Any info please I'd greatly appreciate it. I've called our carrier company and I can't do anything but referred me to apple.
If this iPhone has previously been synced to a computer you can connect to that computer which will unlock it.
If you have not done so there is no way to use it without Restoring it and losing your information. -
