My iPad won't open and keeps asking for a pass code, which I never installed?

My iPad mini won't open, it would appear to have a pass code which I never installed. This was the first time I charged it up and I'm confused. Can anyone help please?

What's the precise text of your error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

HT1620 I have had downloaded ios7.1.1 and it asks for a pass code to install. I cannot recall having one and if otherwise how do I get one

I have downloaded the latest iOS and it asks for a pass code which either I cannot recall, two failed attempts,. How do I get one so I can install

The iOS upgrade is seeking whatever code you use to unlock your iOS (iPhone or iPad) device; your device passcode or PIN or password you're using to secure your device.
If you've forgotten the PIN or password that you had originally configured to unlock your iOS device, there is a reset sequence.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.

Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

I cannot get the verification email to arrive in my inboxes and when I choose the security question options it tells me my birthdate is incorrect and I know it it not Help trying to reset my iPad to factory settings and keeps asking for a password I can't

I am trying to put my ipad back to factory settings and it keeps asking for my original Id which is the reason I am needing to reset it. When I try to do this via password prompts it asks for my date of birth which I enter correctly and it tells me it is incorrect and then trying the email route this does not send any emails to the registered accounts I set up originally - help!!

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

I am trying to update to iOS8.2 and it asks for a pass code. Where do I find this?

Where do I get or find the pass code, which is requested when I try to download and install iOs8.2?

If you are updating from 7.x to 8.x the install is asking you to create a passcode. You can turn passcode off after the install is complete if you so wish.

Email won't receive and keeps asking for password

Ever since a combination of circumstances last week, my email is mostly, randomly not sending or receiving on my MBP. We changed to AT&T Uverse; and I ran the most recent update of Safari. Now, despite having the correct password entered, my email program asks for my passwork over and over again and won't deliver my mail, although, for no particular reason, it does decide to work occasionally. Is there some sort of known software compatibility issue? That's what it feels like. My thumbnails are also not always loading - again very random - I get the blue square with the question mark rather than the graphic. TIming of this beginning is the same.

I turned on my I-pad and it automatically sent me to I-cloud instead of my normal I-pad screen, now I cannot log on because it is asking for a pass code that I never set up. How do I log on?

I turned on my Ipad three days ago and instead of my normal screen, it displayed a totally different screen (I-cloud). I tried to logon but, now it is asking for a passcode that I never had to setup before and I can't use my Ipad. How can I access and use my Ipad?

Hello kumajet27,
Your iPad may have been put into what is called 'Lost Mode,' which is a feature of our iCloud service. The following article provides further information regarding this service.

Updated my iPad to IOS7. Now is asks for a pass code, but I've never used a pass code on it before.

Does anyone know how to bypass the pass code after updating iPad to ios7? I've never used a pass code before and now it asks me for one. Also, my iPad is now disabled due to too many attempts to unlock it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You won't get a reply on your email here. These forums are for users who want to help other users.
If you didn't buy your iPhone in your own country and you unlocked it to work in any way, you're out of luck. If you accidentally setup a passcode check out this old discussion:

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
