My son changed the password on the iPad and has forgotten it. Now, the iPad is locked. Is it possible to reset, or recover the "new" password?

Hi MaraAndKaid,
This article has steps you can take when you're unable to remember your passcode to get things back on track:

Resetting my password on ipad. Now locked out

Cannot use my Ipad. Password has been locked. Will not comunicate with the computer as a device. How do I recover?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT4623 i installed the most current update on my ipad and now it is locked up and I can't do anything with it. what do i do?

I installed the most recent update and now my ipad is locked up. There is an itunes logo and what looks like a picture of the ipad power cord on the screen, nothing else. If I plug my ipad into my computer, nothing happens. If I turn it off and back on again, I get the same screen. I have no idea what to do.

Hi ocholocoperros,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The steps in this article can help if you're only seeing the "connect to iTunes" screen:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

All the best,

I deleted the keyboard language my password is in. Now I am locked out of the device. What can I do?

Accidentally, I deleted the language that I set my password in. Now I can't get in my iPad,

Oops, you will have to connect to a computer and iTunes and restore as new.

I mistyped my security answers and now i'm locked out for 8 hours on my pas? Really

A little frustrated with such a "genius" company. Mistyped my apple security answers o my new ipad and now i'm locked out for 8 hours! Solutions, even the custoer help couldn't help!

I don't know if Apple is a "genius" company, but it's standard practice in for internet firms like Apple and AT&T to lock down the password on accounts that show repeated attempts at accessing accounts. So far as the computer is concerned, you could be a user - or a hacker.
We've all forgotten our share of passwords. You can always request a new password from Apple. Or you can invest in a password management utility like 1Password that automatically remembers your passwords.

If You Are Locked Out, Have Forgotten Your Passcode, or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone Restrictions Passcode | The iPhone and iPad
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
          Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
          to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore or have forgotten your restrictions passcode, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

HT4113 my daughters ipad is still frozen, passcode locked, my ohter daughter decided to change it then forget it, so now what . I have done the whole connect to itunes, it keeps aksing for a password, i dont have it and i cant get into the pad at all. Hel

My daughters ipad mini is locked out. Dont ask, sister changed password, cnat remember now we are locked out. I have tried the hwole connect to itunes but nothing, it keeps telling u s we need to unlock the ipad. No Dah!!! Thats what I need help with. please?

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out?

I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out. What can I do to reset the password on the ipad?

Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you can't use the computer that you normally sync to then you will need to use a different computer, but you won't be able to re-sync your content.

Have tried Apple password too many times now locked out of iPhone and ipad

I Have tried to put Apple password on too many times now I am locked out of iPhone and iPad how do I fix this

If you've disabled your iTunes account (is that what you mean ?) then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your devices by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Howver, you will probably need recovery mode in order to bypass the passcode. You can read about it here.
