Reset lock code for iPad - Apple iPad 2 Wifi 16GB

Hi Donald. Do you forget the passcode?

If you have synced your iPad with iTunes before you forget your iPad password, you can reset your iPad by using iTunes without losing data. Through iTunes, you can restore your iPad from the last backup and remove the passcode from your locked iPad while retaining your data. If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer. Otherwise, you have to follow the reset iPad Passcode with Recovery Mode section below. The following steps will show you how to reset iPad password with iTunes.

1. Connect your iPad to the computer with via a USB cable that your iPad has trusted.
2. Launch iTunes. If you've synced your iPad with iTunes, then no "enter password" is required.
3. iTunes will automatically sync your iPad and create a backup file. If it doesn't, you should sync your iTunes and create a backup file manually by in the Summary window.
4. In the Summary window, you can see the option "Restore iPad". Click it and follow prompts to choose the latest iTunes backup to restore your iPad.

After the restoration process is complete, your passcode will be erased and all your data will be restored from your backup. You will now be able to access your iPad without any passcode. And you can set your new password on iPad.

How to Reset Password on iPhone

You need to plug it into a computer running iTunes.

iTunes will reset it to factory defaults.

You have setup an iTunes account with Apple. When you connect the iPad to iTunes, (WiFi or via computer) they ask you the password for your iTunes account. If you forgot that one, Apple can send you an reset code to the mail address connected to the Apple account. (Not the iCloud mail)
If nothing works, goto the closest Apple store and take your invoice with you and an ID card, to prove you are the legal owner, perhaps they can help you.

Only way is to Factory reset...

Hi John,

If you cannot remember your lock code, you will need to restore your device as new or be able to restore a backup if you cannot remember your lock code.

If you do remember your lock code you can update it in the settings app:

Click on Settings and then scroll down to the Passcode option (you may have to scroll down a bit). This will bring you to the Passcode Lock menu where you can turn off or update your lock code.

Hope that helps!

I don't have an iPad, but I did find this article. Sounds pretty much like what you're describing. Maybe this will help. It does say that making you connect to iTunes is for your protection in the event that someone steals your ipad.

Keep in mind, I have no idea how data is synced on an iPad, so I don't know if you may lose saved data on the device. Hopefully you've got that already synced/backed up:

To reset it without having the screen lock code, you will have to find a computer that you can put iTunes on in order to hook up your iPad and reset it.

this is apple's lock, i will not want someone to open up my iPad if it is stolen, if not contact apple directly they will assist you after some checks, remember that the code can be reset if you know the apple id and password for that iPad.

DFW reset, which is to press and hold both home and power buttons while plugged into the computer where your backup is. When the itunes logo appears, restore from that backup, and you would be fine. If you don't have a backup, the only thing you can do is restore as a new iPad, then manually replace all your purchases, apps contacts, and music.
