Locked out of my mini ipad help?

i am locked out of my ipad mini...pLEASE help

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
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.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

    You will have to restore it form Recovery Mode as it states in the artcile that brought you here.
    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.

  • Have tried Apple password too many times now locked out of iPhone and ipad

    I Have tried to put Apple password on too many times now I am locked out of iPhone and iPad how do I fix this

    If you've disabled your iTunes account (is that what you mean ?) then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your devices by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT4972 Im locked out of my Iphone 4 help me cant restore

    1. Start iTunes on your computer (be sure it's up to date).
    2. Plug cable into USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Connect cable to phone.
    4. Press both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • Locked out of my iphone, please help

    So I plugged my daughters iPhone into my iMac and restored my iPhones backup by mistake. The backup that was restored is very old and I have no idea what the passcode is. When I try to restore one of my daughter's backups i receive a message "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone." Obviously I can't access the phone to disable find my phone so i logged into icloud.com but the only device in there is my existing phone. So I am in the situation where I cannot turn off find my phone for my daughters phone and are locked out without being able to restore.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

  • Help, I'm locked out!

    Someone thought it would be funny to change my nokia n810 device lock code.
    Now I'm locked out.
    If anyone can help me fix this... please I need help NOW!

    I think your only options are to beat the new code out of the eejit who changed it, try the 3 button reset on start-up (unfortunately, that way you will lose all data in phone memory) or take the phone and Proof of Purchase to a service centre .. where they'll probably reset it, thereby losing all your data

  • Why is my Mac locked out of iTunes Match?

    I spent the $25 to purchase iTunes Match on my family's shared media iTunes account and the day the service went live. I then set it up with our Mac Mini, the computer that serves as our family's media system. The iTunes account in question is relatively new, only a few months old. Prior to that, my wife and I were using our individual personal iTunes account to purchase apps and media. It wasn't until I realized we were going to need an account we could all share that I decided to create a family account. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I wanted to show my kids "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" while the adults continued their after dinner discussions. A year ago, I bought that television program from iTunes on my personal account and knew that I could now download it through iTunes. But when I switched over to that account to download it, the computer automatically become un-"associated" with my shared account account and "associated" itself with the old account. And now, I cannot use the account that was used to set up iTunes Match, on the computer for which Match was purchased in the first place. As of right now, I apparently cannot re-connect that machine to Match for another ninety days, which is nearly one quarter of the year for which I purchased the Match service.
    I find it troubling that Apple is punishing me for accessing media I have purchased in the past by locking me out of a service for which I have paid. Both accounts are associated with my name, both accounts are associated with the same credit card information, the only thing that differs is that they associated with different email addresses. This all seems very esoteric and not very customer service oriented, and this is coming from an owner of numerous OS X and iOS devices. This is an issue that is going to come up more and more for Apple's customers as more people buy in to the iTunes/iOS/OS X ecosystem and try to make the best possible use and sense out of it all. My attempt to get resolution to my problem through Apple Support was met with a very flowery, "tough ****," from a customer support representative. Neither the choice, nor the response are suitable. What efforts, if any, are being made to try to make this more workable for people like me, trying to make the best decisions while moving ahead in the iTunes ecosystem?
    Is there a fix for this, or am I just going to have to eat it and not use the service I bought, on the computer for which I bought it, for a quarter of the time I paid for?

    I did contact them. I put in a ticket immediately after discovering that I was locked out. I asked for help or in lieu of that, a refund. Two days later a customer support representative contacted me via email to offer nothing in the way of help and to tell me that a refund was not an option per the iTunes EULA.
    I am very disappointed by how this has been handled thus far. iTunes Match seemed like a wonderful service, but being punished for reasons that are entirely unclear, has really soured my opinions about it.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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 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.
