iPad security lockout

Good afternoon. I purchased my apple iPad in November 2022 at Best Buy. Yesterday I used the same password I have always used but it locked my out and after multiple attempts it has security locked me out. Is there a way apple support can remotely unlock it since we do not have an Apple Store close to us here in Johnson City TN.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Your iPhone is in the state of “security lockout”. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 Reset the Passcode of your iPhone (Without a Computer) Note: All the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created on 👉 iCloud and/or on a computer. If you do then, you can 👉Restore your iPhone from the backup file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.
