I changed my password on my iPad but ever time I try typing it in its wrong

Hi


I changed the passcode to unlock my iPad this morning but now I keep getting it wrong and I don't know what it is! I can still access my iPad via Touch ID but I really would like to change it. It's very stressful, I use this iPad for work and it would be very inconvenient if I had to reset it – it would only be a last resort. Is there any way I am able to change it again?


Any help would be appreciated

If your iPad is disabled, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you’ll need to follow this process:

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211078


You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).


You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
