forgot 4 digit screen passcode

I just purchased a new IPAD last weekend, I set up a 4 digit screen passcode apparently, I never synced it to my ITUNES account, and now that I finally have time to mess with the IPAD I can't remember that 4 digit passcode. HELP!

You cannot reset a passcode. You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad. You will probably need to use recovery mode.


iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen


This will tell you how to restore

iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software

If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

iPad: Unable to update or restore
