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.

    My 6 yr old daughter put a pass code on her Ipod & she forgot it now she can unlock it does anyone know how

    hi try this
    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software -http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • I put a restrictions pass code on my iPad and forgot the password. I tried to reset it to factory settings but that means I lose all my purchases and I don't wanna lose $ 25 worth of purchases. I tried restoring it but brings back restrictions code....

    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

  • When I click "edit" to manage content on a web page, I see code instead of text and images. How can I fix this?

    I edit content on www.fomh.org. Until recently, I could sign in as administrator, click "edit" in the editable area of a web page, and proceed to update text and images. I have been using Firefox to do this for several years. Now when I attempt to do this, I see all the html code in the editable area instead of the text and images.
    I am using Mac OS 10.6.8

    What is the content of that window?
    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

  • My daughter changed the password on her ipod touch and it will not allow her to put letters in so therefore she is locked out! how can we fix this

    My daughter has changed her ipod touch password and it will not allow her to put in letters so therefore she is locked out! How can she fix this?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My One to One activation code said it is not valid. How do I fix this so I can sign up for my first session?

    My One to One activation code said it is not valid. How do I fix this so I can sign up for my first session?

    Thanks JoeyR.   I didn't realize the One to One sessions are now online.
    The "activation code" threw me.  I took the One to One classes 4 years ago.  All I did was sign up in the store and the sessions started the following week inside the Apple Store.  Times have changed I see.

    Hi @vjbrace ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
    If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

  • HT1459 My daughter forgot the password to her IPod & disabled it.  How can I fix this? I do not have the serial number because it was purchased used!

    My daughter reset her IPod and after doing so the Ipod asked for a password.  We do not have a serial number for the Ipod as it was used.  The IPod is now disabled.  How can I fix this?

    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • HT1222 My daughter put a security code on her ipod and we cannot remember it.

    My daughter has locked her ipod with a security code and I have no idea how to contact someone to delete it.  Any ideas????

    Connect your iDevice to your Computer and open the iTunes program. You will need internet access and a Apple account. If not, this will not work. 
    2Turn on your iDevice. Now hold down the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home Button at the same time for about 30 seconds.Skip the Turn Off Menu when it appears. Continue holding down the buttons.
    3If done correctly, your iDevice has turned off and then 1-3 seconds later, the Apple logo will came up, continue holding down the Power and Home Buttons. In approximately 20-30 seconds after it shows the Apple logo, it will display a "Connect to iTunes" image.
    4Now iTunes will show the iDevice and say: "iTunes has detected a iDevice in recovery mode. Please restore it before using it with iTunes."If you did not connect the iDevice to iTunes before you continued with the steps then this will not work. Also, iTunes doesn't distinguish an iPhone with an iPod in this message.
    5Click on restore on iTunes.Restoring the iDevice means to delete everything that is saved to the device. Including the password. It deletes everything because the passcode is designed to protect the owner's privacy. Thus, deleting everything is the only way to reset it.
    6After the download is complete, iTunes will automatically install it to your iDevice.
    7Sync your iDevice (Or use the backup if you did back it up) to iTunes and you should be back to normal. No password necessary!
