Reset ipad to original settings with out password

This Ipad it was my daughter she hasn't been using it so much for 2 years. because she got an apple laptop.  I got it, but it had all her info so I want it to do it fresh and I put it to reset to factory settings.  Is asking to tell the owner to take out the device from the Icloud.  my daughter doesn't use anymore the email link to it or icloud, she has been trying but not luck.  I don't mind to go to a store prove that I'm the mother I got her birthcertificate, copy of driver license and my ids as well.

Without the original discs, you really won't be able to do it. If you can find the install discs, you can then boot to the install disk, erase your Mac's hard disk, then do a fresh install of the OS, remove the disc and shut down at the point where it prompts you for user information. At that point, when your son starts up the system, setup should carry on and let him set up the box as if it were new.
Another way of doing this could be to set up an account for him on the box. Log into his account and delete yours. Subsequently, uninstall any and all applications that did not ship with it.
If you're really stuck for the install discs, you can try contacting Apple to see whether you can buy them. If Apple says no, then ifixit.com is your next stop. When ifixit.com decommissions a notebook for salvage parts, discs are available for resale. Specifiy the model and they'll show whether they have those discs in stock.

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Is there any way to restore it to factory settings with out the disk?

    I got a macbook off of a friend with all the proper disks, did the installation and set up and did all the updates. Now after having restarted the computer with the new updates I'm trying to install iworks(it always asks for the admin. name and password), but it keeps saying that I have the incorrect administrator name or password yet I can log on and off just fine. Is there any way I can fix this or reset it to the factory settings with out having to use the disk?

    OK, then you can try this instead:
    I lost my admin user (OS X 10.5)
    If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below.  Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode.  Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful!
    Substitute the name of 'youruser' below. 
    Boot into single-user mode which will eventually get you to a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following (Press RETURN after each command): 
    /sbin/fsck -fy 
    Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with 
    /sbin/mount -uw / 
    /usr/bin/dscl . -merge /groups/admin users youruser 
    If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:  
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin gid 80
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin passwd '*'
    and then repeat the "dscl ... -merge" command.
    Then:
    reboot 
    You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges.  Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.

  • How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can I delete an icloud account from apple's system with out password

    My mom is 88..  Apple help desk got her set up for an icould account she did not need becuse they misunderstood the nature of help she needed. It is a second uncessary account and is wreaking havoc with her iPad.  My mom can not remember her password.  How can I permanantely remove the account from Apple's system. 

    Apple IDs (which are used to establish various types of accounts like icloud and itunes store) cannot be permanently deleted, nor can the accounts.  Just don't use the account in question if you don't want it.
    If this is about icloud, then on her ipad, Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  In the future she can always log back in.  If she needs to do this, then to deal with a forgotten password...
    Try the following link to reset your password.

  • How to get in to  macbook 08 with out password

    how can  get into an early 2008 mac  with out password

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article

    With 10.8 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.
