Q: How do I delete all personal information from my ipad.

I am selling my ipad so I can get an ipod touch. My brother set my ipad up and I asked my dad for the pass codes and he told me my brother needs to hook it up to his computer to delete everything or it will ruin it, he claims my brother as hos persoanl information on it. I think he just wants access to my person stuff which has a lot of stuff that makes him look bad (mean imessages from him).

Thank you. I knew there had to be another way, I had a feeling he just want to access my information. Do I ned the main passcode to do this?

Certain updateds or downloads ask for a passcode that isnt mine and it shows my brothers email address. My mom tried to emable restrictions on it and it asked for a passcode that isnt my AppleID passcode.

What a jerk lying to me! Trying to tell me it will ruin the ipad if I dont do it his way. Im pretty sure an Apple Support Tech would be posting if it could ruin the ipad.

Thank you everyone!
