Lost my ipad/security code

I've lost my ipad. It is locked with the 4 digit security code but i had disabled the erase after 10 failed attempts feature so my question is. Whoever has found my ipad how many attempts will they get at trying the security code before my ipad completely locks down and has to be connected to a computer and restored that way. Also once restored by a computer/itunes i take it all my data will be erased and the finder will basically have a new ipad with settings as if out the box?
thanks for any answers just looking for peace of mind over my personnel data

I believe it is the same 10 attempts, then locks out and requires a restore, if you have ios 7 and enabled the activation lock, they cannot format as new without the original Apple ID and password that were used., They then have an unusable blank ipad.

TS3274 forgot ipad security code

We have forgotten the access code to login to the ipad. (This is the device code not our apple id or password.)

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.

My daughter lost her iPad access code

Dear all
I guess this is not new: my daughter forgot about her iPad (-1) access code. To unlock the iPad with the approach found via google at http://www.videoconverteripad.com/ipad-tutorial/unlock-ipad-passcode.html doesn't work since the locked iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. I welcome your appreciated help! Thanks!

The device must be restored from the computer it was last synced with.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS: Understanding passcodes
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
If iTunes doesn't "see" the iPad when connected under Devices left side of the iTunes window, read here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

My iPad security code was reset, but I can't remember it. I have tried to restore it in Recovery mode, but it still asks for the passcode, and therefore can't be found in iTunes. What else can I try?

How can I reset the passcode/connect the device to iTunes/restore?

If you follow the steps below closely, it should not ask you for passcode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Account security code help

I am trying to make a payment on my prepaid plan but i lost my account security code. I have been trying to get it reset through customer service through the options but none of them are for reseting that code all they ask is if you want to reset your voice mail code. Can anyone help me out with this issue?

If you did not make you own account code the default code is the last four digits of your cell number. If you had already changed it then you will have to call customer service at 1-888-294-6804 and they will reset it for you.

Having lost my password, et al., I obtained a new one successfully, but now when I tried to make a purchase, I was asked for my Security Code. How do I obtain a new one since I have lost all my iPad documentation?

Having lost my password, et al., I obtained a new one successfully, but now when I tried to make a purchase, I was asked for my Security Code. How do I obtain a new Security Code since I have lost all my iPad documentation? Thank you, Dzurek123

That refers to the 3 digit security code on the back of your credt card, not a security code for the iPad.

How can I change payment information if I lost my credit card and its security code so I can keep buy pertinent apps?, How can I change payment information if I lost my credit card and its security code so I can keep buy pertinent apps?

I purchased a macbook pro but couldnt download apps. Facts:
1. I already have an apple ID with my Ipad, which has my old (prepaid) credit card number and security code as payment information
2. I lost my credit card including all info: card number, expiry, security card. I also didnt store it anywhere else and the CC company doesnt have my security code either because it's a prepaid/loadable card (not a real credit card).
3. I purchased a Macbook Pro and tried putting in new payment info. It didnt push through as it was asking me to key in my lost security code number
4. I opened my ipad and it was asking for the same thing bec my apple ID was accessed elsewhere with the attempt to change my payment info.
5. I couldt download and purchase apps because of this, i havent downloaded pertinent software for my new computer.
Could you please help me resolve this problem?
Thank you very much
Ana

I have lost my iPad. How secure are my data ?

I have lost my iPad.
Unfortunately I have not activated the Search my iPad function.
The iPad is locked with the code.
How secure are my data ? Is it possible, that someone get into my data ?

Anything is possible, but having it locked is good. You need to change your Apple password. The finder may reset to factory settings which will delete all your data.

Trying change my credit card info from previously lost credit card but can't since it says I'm accessing from new device and asks for security code for a card i no longer have. What can I do?

I've recently gotten a new laptop and replaced my damaged iphone. Apparently these 2 scenarios qualify as "new devices". This is fine but I also had lost my credit card previously that was connected to my iTunes account, and got a new one with all different numbers. When I try to change my billing information to this new card it won't let me because it says
"Your account has been accessed from a new device, and you must verify your payment information before you can make purchases."
and it asks for the security code of the card I had lost and replaced! I am not able to change my billing info to my new card thus because I can't get past this.
Can anyone please help?

I am trying to update some apps but my ipad wont let me because it wants me to enter the security code for my credit card and I dont want to do that how can i fix this?

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus.

Hi, I recently got an iPad. I want to purchase software but I was prompted for a security code due to the fact that I am purchasing on a new device. I entered all my credit card details but can't even recall having a security code.

Please help. Because I wanted to purchase apps on my iPad after I have only used my credit card detail on my iPhone, I was requested to also enter some security code. I cannot recall what it is and now I cannot purchase any apps. I entered anything in the hope that some assistance to choose a new one will pop up but nothing. What can I do?

the security code is on the back of your card underneath your signature

HT1206 My credit card security code keeps popping up as invalid but I'm able o purchase off my home computer and iPod, iPhone and iMac. Why can't I use the same card off my iPad ?

My credit card security pin shows up as invalid on my iPad. However, I can use the same credit card information off my iPod, iPhone and iMac. What is causing this to happen?

have you enter the security code when you rentered your cc information.

My iPad updated and wants a security code. I tried the one from my phone and it doesn't work - I never entered a security code. How can I get in now?

‘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.
