TS3274 how to reset lost ipad password

Can anyone please tell me how to reset a password on an ipad as my little boy has forgotten it because he is forever changing it! It tells you to connect to itunes on the ipad but when you do a pop up in itunes comes up with 'this ipad needs to have a passcode entered to use it in itunes' or something very similar.
Many thanks in advance
Claire

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

    I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

  • I cant figure out how to reset my security password

    i cant figure out how to reset my security password so i cant buy any apps can anyone help

    If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Did you disable UNIX group and ENS login authorities? Check with:
    # /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config list --login-ens
    # /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config list --login-unix-group
    They should both return 1. If not use config edit to set them accordingly.

    No password is required to use the Terminal, so your question makes no sense.

  • I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address.  Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process.  Any recommendations?

    I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address.  Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process.  Any recommendations?

    Great tip from dorothy.  Also, some isp services are more aggressive from others in filtering what they think might be spam.  You might check your spam file from a computer, and see if the verification e mails are sitting there.   When i wen through the process, the verification e mail came to the new e mail address in under a couple of minutes.

  • HT201240 I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.
