My ipad got logged indefinitely due to forgotten password. how do i unlock the device and reset it again?

Hi all,
I got logged out of my ipad indefinitely due to forgotten password. It says to connect to itunes and I did so but was prompted a message that says itunes cant connect to the locked Ipad and I would need to input a password using the device but the device is locked!
Appreciate any help or answers for my problem.
Many thanks!

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    Need help here, a friend died from mesothelioma and his family gave his ipad to us for our children. I reset the ipad in iTunes on the computer and it has find my iPhone on it , now the ipad dont start or boot up again. How do I get for that because I am not able to get a hold of him obviously?

    Just had an employee terminated most acrimoniously and had an iPhone 5C that was a brick. Apple support can help remove the lock. Better hold onto your original receipt and record the Serial# !  I do not mean the MEID or IMEI but the Serial# found on the original box or Settings>General>About. In my case no receipt or Serial#.  2 hours on the phone between Apple and Verizon and got what was needed. Submitted form and got reply to allow 2-10 business days.
    Here is the form I had to complete and sent to [email protected]..
    ORIGINAL SALES INFORMATION:
    PRODUCT PURCHASE DATE:
    INVOICE/RECEIPT NUMBER:

    How do I search iCloud appointments in the past on the PC or iPad or iPhone?
    I can't find how to search on the PC
    The iPad/iPhone iClould calendar search does not go into the past appointments

    So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
    Good luck!

  • HT1386 ipad has been disabled due to blocked password, how to solve it?

    And iTunes cannot connect to it due to the password trouble. How do I solve it???

    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.

    I just bought an ipad air but I forgot my pass code. How do I unlock the device with many wrong attempted passcode.

    I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.

    ‘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.

    You can't unless you have a backup on your computer or iCloud.. If you have important files on your iPad, you should always make frequent backups.

    hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((

    It was never free for the 3GS.
    It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
    After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
    Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself.
