Resetting iPad 3 without iTunes password.

Hi all.  Here's my situation:
We had a 12 year old exchange student from Colombia ,he had been staying with another family prior to us but apparently they didn't get along too well.  Anyhow, long story short, he came to stay with us.  A day or two after he got here I decided I'd wipe my iPad and let him use it for his time here.  As it was, all he had was an iPod to communicate with his friends and family.  Amonth or so in, my wife took the iPad away from him because he was up on it all night and then trying to play sick for school.
Fast forward a few weeks and Juanpablo is home in Colombia and we decided that seeing as how I rarely use my iPad, we would wipe it and give it to our oldest daughter for Christmas.  (Juan left a collection of **** links on it, I suppose no surprise considering he's a 12 year old guy).  I can't reset and clear the iPad without his Apple ID password.  I've tried messaging him and his friend who was also an exchange student here, to no avail.  I don't want to be a dick to him but worst case scenario I figure I can tell him to either disconnect my iPad from his account of I'll send his mom a copy of his browsing history!  (Last resort)
Is there any way around this if he doesn't respond or disconnect the iPad from his account?  I understand that this is likely the same request a thief would be making if he'd stole somebodies iPad, which is why it's proving to be such a pain in the butt.  I have my receipt for the iPad, it was previously connected to my Apple ID, heck, it still has my SIM card in it, running.  I don't know what else I would need, but can anybody offer me any advice on how to get this thing cleaned up and reset?
Thanks,
Kevin.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to reset my ipod without itune

    i forgot my password and i need to reset it but without itune, can i do that ? and thanks

    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and 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.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an interner connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Factory Reset Ipad Air without password?

    Hi guys,
    Need a bit of help I work in retail and have a customer who returned and ipad to us without factory resetting first and also we can no longer contact her to get the password so we can reset it ourselves.
    Is there a way I can bypass this and factory reset it without the password?
    Cheers

    I see now. It just seemed so odd without the context that you just provided.
    I have no clue how the vendor/supplier relationship works with Apple, but I would contact them and explain the situation. I have to believe that they have a way of dealing with this issue with their resellers.
    Other than getting help from Apple, there isn't anything you can do unless she is willing to cooperate. I would be tempted to take legal action against her if I could.

  • Factory Reset iPad 2 without passcode or iTunes

    I need to do a factory reset on an iPad 2. It is locked with a passcode, and I do not have a computer with iTunes on it. How can I reset my device?
    If you cannot help, please do not post irrelevant links or questions. Thank you.

    There is no way anyone can help you. It is like asking how can I drive my car without an engine. You cannot restore it to factory conditions without iTunes and a computer. If you make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store they will restore it as a new device for you. You might also get the Geek Squad people to do so for you also.

  • HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

    i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

    A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
    What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
    If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

    Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

    Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
    Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Resetting iPad 2 without Apple ID and Password

    I recently bought a used iPad 2 32GB from somebody online.  When I went to reset it, it asked for an Apple ID and Password.  I contacted the seller and could never get ahold of them to get that information.  Is there a way to reset the iPad without having the Apple ID and Password?

    If iPad is using IOS 7, you need the Apple ID and Password of previous owner to activate iPad.
    There is no workaround.

  • Trying to reset ipad location & privacy, but password is required

    I have been having a problem with Find My Friends - the labels show the email addresses and I'd like them to show my friends' names.  Following some instructions I found here in the community,  I am trying to reset the location & privacy.  However, when I try to do so, I am prompted for a password.  I tried both the regular locking password and the restriction password.  Neither works.
    Is there a special password to do this step?  Or is there another way to get the display to show my friends names in Find My friends?
    Thank you!

    Good news...sort of.  I didn't solve the password issue, but I was able to solve the name issue in Find My friends without having to reset location services.
    I went to settings>Privacy>contacts. I just needed to flip the switch to allow find my friends to access contacts.
    I still wish I knew what password I need to reset Location & Privacy.....I have only set up 2 passwords on this ipad and neither works.

  • How do i reset IPad Mini without restrictions passcode if i'm not connected to Icloud either?

    I have an IPad mini, but i can't sync it with Icloud or even connect it because the icon in settings comes up a little faded. I cant reset factory settings because i need the restriction passcode and i have no idea what it is.

    You can't access iCloud settings because of the restrictions passcode.
    You can try restoring isung recovery mode. you will totally erase the iPad by using recovery mode and you will obviously lose everything on it. I hope that you have a backup.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
