Hello MRCHAIRMA,

My daughter put a password on her ipad and now the ipad is locked and disabled. how do i unlock it or reset the ipad?

My daughter put a password on her Ipad2 and forgot her password. She entered the password wrong 10 times and now her Ipad says that it's locked and disabled. How can I reset or unlock her IPad2?
thank you

You cant reset the password. You will have to restore the device within iTunes and you will want to use the same computer that you sync with if you want to restore all of the app data and app settings.
This article will explain how to restore the iPad.

Howver, you will probably need recovery mode in order to bypass the passcode. You can read about it here.

I'm trying to reset my password on the iPad and apple says it has sent me an email, but I don't receive it, even though the address is good.

I somehow seem to have changed the Apple id password on my iPad and don't know what it is. When I try to reset it, I'm given the option of having Apple get in touch with me by email. I click on this choice and Apple says the email has been sent - but I never receive it, even though the address is valid. The other option is to answer two questions preceded by entering my birthdate. I know the answers to the questions, but must have entered my birthdate incorrectly when I set up the account. To make a long story short, I can't sign in to iCloud on the iPad and can't figure a way out of this dilemma.

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

‘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.
 Cheers, Tom

HT201263 So my ex put a password on my iPad and I am now on my second attempt to try and restore my device and last attempt at the end it said there was a message saying something about a passcode i needed to disable. I just want to wipe my whole IPad cle

So my ex decided to take it upon himself and set up my IPad and put passcodes all over the place as well as using his apple id to put things on my Ipad. Now that we are broke up I am trying to get into my Ipad and use it and can not. I have tried to restore it and wipe it clean to start ovwer but at the end of the process i get a msg stating that there is a passcode of somesort that i need to disable. What can I do to start over and clear everything?

Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version. The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

Is there any way to password protect the ipad from syncing with a computer? Or Blocking it from a computer?

My brother borrows it and always adds music to it. I want to prevent this from happening.

Password protect the iPad and he won't be able to use it at all. Seems like the appropriate response if someone is using your belongings in a way you've requested they should not.

Two options - plug it into the computer it was last sync'd with and restore from a backup. If no backup, you will have to restore as new and start all over.

My daughter put a password on her ipod and has now forgotten the password and disabled her ipod, we no longer have the computer that it was last synced to please help

You'll need to connect the device to the new iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document. From there, restore it to factory settings.

Is there a way to put a password on the sim of iphones?

As talk of the iphone 5 is increasing, I wonder if apple will come up with a way to put a password on the SIM CARD of iphones?
My iphone was stolen recently and calls were made before I got to report it missing to ridiculous charges! I was gutted to have lost my iphone and at the time didn't even think about someone using my pay monthly phone account!! With old school mobile phones if you put a password on it, this carried over to any handset you put that sim in. But with iphones this is not the case, the password is ONLY on the phone! So while a thief may realise that the phone is useless, they have access to the sim in any handset and if it is a pay monthly phone, as the majority of smartphones tend to be now, anyone can use the account until it is blocked, either by reporting it missing or my the phone company for high charges.
If apple is to remain the top supplier of smartphones I think finding a solution to this is vital.

Perhaps it has potential as an app but I definitely think it should become a feature of all iphones.
Phone companies are changing their terms and conditions to deal with such charges as so many iphones are being stolen recently, and unfortunately this results in the customer being liable for the charges.
As technology advances surely it should be making fraud more difficult instead of the opposite...??
Many thanks for your response, I have sent feedback
