What do I do if I forgot my iPad password and I have find my iPad with my iPhone?

Last night, while I was very tired, I was going to change my password on my iPad. I did, and then fell asleep and now I can't remember he password. I have my iPad connected to my Find My iPhone/iPad and I was going to try to see of I could set a NEW password to my iPad from Find my iPhone on my iPhone. But, it wouldn't allow me to, and it said it would just set the password as the already existing password on my iPad. Any help?

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.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple

    I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad!

    I forgot my iPad password and I have tried to restore it but I am unable to because it says it is unable to because i'm connected to Find My iPad! I need to get onto my iPad because for some assignments I use my iPad. I want to preferably factory reset it.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. 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.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • What do I do if Mail keeps rejecting my password and I cannot find it anywhere?

    I just bought a new Mac mini Lion OS. Everything was going well until I tried to set up my mail account. Even on my old Mac I was getting continual messages to enter my password and no password I tried was accepted. This was going on for the past month. Every time I tried to use Mail I was asked for my keychain password and nothing I tried would work. Then, two days ago I was setting up my new Mac mini and the same thing is now occurring. I cannot send or receive mail. I have tried a bunch of different things such as starting a new account on yahoo! mail, deleting my accounts. I don't have anything of value yet on my new Mac so I would be happy to start the entire installation process over again if that is needed. My question is: how to I get my email to work on this machine? Thanks.

    Did you happen to install Cydia or what they refer to as jailbreaker recently?

    There are different ways to reset the password depending on the Mac OS X version you are running. You can check it in  > About this Mac.
    If it's 10.6 or older, see "Resetting your original administrator account password" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5381
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8, try resetting your password with your Apple ID by following the steps of the link above. If it doesn't work, reset the password using Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

  • HT1414 I forgot my restriction password and need to reset my ipad

    Hi

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    i forgot my ipad password and my ipad is bloked, can you tell me what i can do

    There is only one solution.  You will have to restore your iPad via your computer in iTunes.  Do not restore from backup as you can't remember your password.  You'll have to restore as a new device and resync everything all over again.  Next time, write your password down for future reference.

  • What do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    what do i do?  I forgot my ipad password and so i can't use it?

    Have you ever connected this iPad to your computer? Looked at the manual (it is bookmarked in Safari)?
    1. Use the USB cable that came with your iPad, connect one end to the dock on the iPad, the other end to your computer.
    2. When iTunes on your computer opens, click on the name of your iPad. It will appear on the very left hand frame under the heading DEVICES.
    3. Move to the right and make sure the tab that says Summary is open. Look down on the page and you will have a selection for Restore. Click it.
    4. When asked select Restore as a new iPad, not Restore from Backup.
    5. Wait for the Restore to finish. Do not interrupt it before it is done or disconnect.
