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. -

Hi,
I am posting this as an information exercise and not a criticism.
Most Forums now have a Recent Users Tip section above the Post New Topic link and the Topic List itself.
In some cases the info you want is there.
I hope you and others find this useful.

He will have to contact Apple and speak to someone in account security if he can't recover it at https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid

I have a problem with buying stuff on app store with a gift card because it asks me to verify my account. I need to answer my security questions that I forgot and it offers me to use my rescue email that is no longer working. Please help!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

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 bought a new IMAC all in one in February 2012....so its very new. I have forgotten my login password when I turn on the MAC therefore it won't allow me access. Please, someone tell me how to reset this!!! Thank you!!
Hello,
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu up at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Change Password.*
Of course for 10.7 & up there is no Install Disk, so boot from your Restore Partition holding CMD+r keys, & look for it there. -

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : 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 address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - 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 the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use -

Follow the directions in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If your device is disabled because you tried too many times, you need recovery mode. You'll need to try this a few times to get it to work, so be patient:

Next time, write down your passwords and store in a safe place. -

Hi 25091996,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Apple ID is disabled for security reasons, try resetting your password via the web using the steps in this article:
Apple ID: 'This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons' alert appears
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
You may not be able to change your iCloud email address, but once your password is reset you can remove your iPhone from Find My iPhone using the steps in this article:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

If you're not sure why your Apple ID was disabled, you may want to contact Apple support for more information:
