I don’t know my guided access password and I can’t get out of guided access. My kids locked it.

My toddlers got a hold of my iPad and turned on guided access how to unlock it when I don’t know the passcode.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Fir the first option, your iPad will need to have a passcode set: If you forgot your iPad passcode Then see: Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. That describes how to use Touch ID or Face ID to exit, if that was enabled.


If that passcode was not enabled, use a forced restart to try to exit: Force restart iPhone. The first two keypresses must be quick, and press and hold the third until you see the Apple Logo.


If that fails, contact Apple Support.
