How to eliminate the passcode and reset

I got in a 16GB A1219 iPad. The mother told me her child had tried to jailbreak it and locked it up. I plugged it into my 10.7.2 MacBook Pro and opened iTune and get the message "You must enter your passcode on the iPad before it can be used with itunes". I then get the option to retry or cancel. I read Oldturkey's answer but don't have a right click or any idea of how to proceed. How do you reset the restrictions password on an iPad?

Omg, you have a big big problem with the firmware Richard, it's possible to do it into many ways, the way to fix it is to restore the firmware. Since the ipad is frozen, you should put it into DFU MODE.To put the iPad into DFU MODE, you need to press the power button and hold, wait till the device shuts down. Then insert the cable with the home button pressed down. iTunes will now recognize the iPad and ask you if you want to restore.You have to download the firmware, here's iOS 5.0.1 or below (http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/) to a computer. To install an older version press the option key on your well build apple keyboard, an example would be ios 4.3.2 or if you want to upgrade to ios 5.0.1 you don't have to download any firmware because iTunes will automatically do it. It's much easier if you restore an apple device with another apple device. MOST OF THE TIME DUMB PC WON'T RESTORE IT. The easy way to upgrade without downloading any firmware is to do it by itunes(remember, itunes will always going to updated to the latest firmware.) To put the iPad into DFU MODE, you need to press the power button and hold, wait till the device shuts down. Then insert the cable with the home button pressed down. iTunes will now recognize the iPad and ask you if you want to restore.

Thanks so much for the directions..You are a genius.

Thanks it worked perfectly.

I have a friend's old apple iPAD Gen II but he forgot the pass code and his recovery mail had being hacked. "how careless". he begged me to pull the strings out of the iOS throat and wipe it for a new start. I tried all week but the pass code was on my way.

I tried entering the wrong passcode for more than 9 times thinking it will block out and reset wiped clean but NO, the iPad was counting up forever up to 11 times, giving a boring 60minutes interval to wait between each pass code.

Then I read your solution here. Its wonderful. its fast. The only aspect that took my time was updating my iTunes to 11.0.

I have a Windows 8 PC running on a normal Dell laptop. I had installed iTunes a long while ago. I shut down the iPad leaving the USB cable end still in the laptop and the iPad end out. After the iPad is fully shut down. I pressed down the iPad home button firmly and continuously while I slipped the USB connector into the iPAd. It quickly recognise the iPad is in recovery mode.

You have to start the iTunes on your PC before starting this process. Make sure your iPad battery is at least 50%. The whole process (restoring and installing iPad firmware) should take somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks OSVALDO. I have just written your name on my street wall grafitti.

Plug the iPad into iTunes on the computer and Put the device in DFU mode and restore it. Hold the home button and power button for 10 seconds exactly at 10 seconds remove the power button but continue holding the home button until you have a black screen and iTunes recognizes it in recovery. Restore and good luck

I have a similar issue. I bought an iPad 16gb at a garage sale. I don't know the password for the apple id so I can't download any apps or even back it up to my Mac. I'd like to reset it, and the solution above may work. However, the iPad contains a lot of music which I'd like to not erase. Is it possible to preserve that or will the procedure above wipe everything out?

You bought a paperweight. It cost the FBI $900,000 to crack an Apple password. Take it back, if they can't tell you then it's stolen.

We have several methods to reset iDevice:

Reset iDevice on Settings

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings, reset all settings on iDevice, but all data on iDevice is still here, just enter the passcode to confirm the reset.

Reset iDevice from iTunes

Connect iDevice to iTunes, and then from iDevice innter face, click on Restore iPhone to reset iDevice, all settings and data on iDevice will be erased then.

Reset iDevicce from iCloud

Sign in iCloud with iCloud account and password, from Find My iPhone feather, find out the iDevice you want to reset, click on Erase feather to reset iDevice, all data and settings will be erased then.

Reset iDevice with Eelphone iPhone Unlock without password

If without passcode, we can reset iDevice with the help of Eelphone iPhone Unlock, wich can unlock iDevice without password, and remove iCloud from iDevice without apple ID.

Hi, in your situation, you can try putting the iPad into recovery mode first and then connect to iTunes to eliminate the passcode. Alternatively, you can make use of Joyoshare iPasscode Unlocker to help you. This tool can bypass the passcode on any iOS device. Of course, if Find My iPhone is enabled on the iPad, using iCloud to erase the iPad can also eliminate the passcode.
