Q: ipad is disabled

STEPS for Forced Recovery:

a. Power the phone off completely

b. Hold down the HOME BUTTON

c. Reconnect to the cable while holding down the home button until iTunes shows up on the iPhone screen...then LET GO of the home button.

d. Then, iTunes on the computer should have this message:

ee. Click OK > Restore

You may need to try this More than Once...

didnt work??

But iTunes never starts itself?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE

1. Turn off iPad

2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)

3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port

4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.

DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug

5. Release Home button.

ON COMPUTER

6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.

7. Select "Restore iPad"...

Note:

1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup

2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

3. Repeat the process if necessary.

How if step 6 doesn't work, which means iTunes do not detect iPad in recovery mode & did not start automatically?

1. Use another USB port

2. Use another USB cable

3. Use another computer

Did not work as well. Sent to mobile clinic, problem solved.

And ... what was the solution so that other users here can solve it, too?

I have no idea how they recovered it, but my iPad was recovered & reset to factory settings.
