I just gave this same advice to somebody else and it's worth a shot. Turn the iPad off and when the screen is black, look in the area of where the keypad numbers would be entered and see if you can see any greasy fingerprints in the exact area of the keypad. If they've entered the passcode several times, you may see duplicate prints in the exact same spots.


Now if you do find them, the harder part is figuring out the order. It may be a familiar code or date he knows.
