Family Sharing / Passwords

Is there a way I can access my family account to see all of my kids ipads and passwords. They're 8 and 10 years old and every time we need to do some maintenance on the devices is a nightmare because no one knows the passwords.

Would these be the device Passcodes? Device passcodes cannot be viewed from other devices or via Family Sharing.


If an iPad passcode has been forgotten, you have no alternative other than to follow this process:

If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled – Apple Support


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).

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
