Recovery of iPad which has been disabled due to forgotten passcode. Despite following instructions, during recovery, still asking for the passcode as a pop up

I have followed the recover iPad instructions through deleting from iTunes, connecting via store while holding the home button and selected recovery mode, but during the process, pop up informs me that the passcode is required. How do I recover the iPad?

If all else fails, then head on over here ...

    HI....Need help to enable my3G iPhone which has been disabled due to forgotten passcode.Thank you

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • I have a ipad which has been locked due to the owner claiming it was lost.  I have had the serial no. checked and it is not stolen but I can't use it.

    i have a ipad which has been locked due to the owner claiming it was lost.  I have had the serial no. checked and it is not stolen but I can't use it.  I have talked to the owner many times who refuses to give me the password or has no idea what password was used.

    Unfortuinately there is nothing that can be done.
    If its locked its locked.  This is a theft deterrant mechanism.
    If you could unlock "stolen" ipads then there would be no purpose for the feature.
    You will have to convince the owner you bought it correctly, or accept its no lonnger usable by you until the original owner removes the lock.

  • My iPad security code was reset, but I can't remember it. I have tried to restore it in Recovery mode, but it still asks for the passcode, and therefore can't be found in iTunes. What else can I try?

    How can I reset the passcode/connect the device to iTunes/restore?

    If you follow the steps below closely, it should not ask you for passcode.

    Hey ade17768,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what to do if your device is disabled:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    1. Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    2. If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    3. When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    4. When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    5. Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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.

  • HT1212 I have an iphone 3 which has been disabled, I've put it into recovery mode but itunes won't connect to it. I know the password but the device wn't give me the option to add it. What else can I do to enable the device. I can't wipe it from the cloud

    I have an iphone 3G which has been disabled after a child tried to get into it. Itunes will not connect until I have put the passcode in but the device will only enable emergency calls and does not allow a passcode to be put in. I have put it into recovery mode and itunes can't see it. There is currently no SIM card in it and it's not connectng to the wifi so I can't wipe it from the cloud. Any ideas how I can get into it?

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.
