My child has locked herself out of her Ipad 2. How do you reset the password? We did a restore and it didn't work.
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
Restore is the solution .
We did that but it doesn't wipe the password 😟
It should work. Try this :
1. Connect the iPad with your PC.
2. In iTunes, select iPad from the ” Devices ” list.
3. Under the summary tab, click on the ” Restore ” button.
4. iTunes will ask you totake a backup. Don’t do it and skip the step.
5. Click on ” Restore ” in the next step.
Now wait till iTunes restore the backup to your iPad. Now you’ll have the old data in your iPad which doesn’t contain the passcode lock feature enabled.
NOTE: If you doesn’t have the backup in iTunes, then you cannot do this.
You can't reset the passcode that locks the device nor can you reset the password that enables restrictions.
If you can't unlock the device - if that is the passcode that your daughter forgot - you have to restore the iPad - what did not work about it? Are you sure that you restored the device correctly? What happened?
iOS: Wrong Passcode results in red disabled screen
iTunes:Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software
You have to restore the device to unlock it and you want to sync with the computer that you always use so that you can restore all app data and settings.
If you cannot restore conventionally, you will need to use recovery mode.
Second time around it worked 🙂
Glad to hear that.
How do you reset the passcode for the ipad2. My child forgot hers and now can't get into it.
