I have followed the directions to erase my ipad and passcode by turning it off and holding down the home button while plugging it into my computer. It brings up a screen that has the picture of the cord leading to an itunes app logo instead of the picture of the computer, what does this mean? Also when I turn the ipad back on its still asks for a passcode so this isnt working to erase it and the code. What are your thoughts?
