I upgraded my iPad to IOS7 and left it running. When I went back, a few days later, it was asking for my password. I never enter the password but now I am locked out. How do I unlock it? Is there a "default" password?
thx

After installing iOS 7 you may be asked to provide a passcode; if you haven't ever defined one...
If you don't see the word "skip" in small blue letters try the following. Otherwise tap "skip".
Enter any number and remember what it is. See if this lets you in. If so, go to Settings>General>passcode lock. enter the number and then you can turn off passcode (a vary bad idea, as many have discovered when their devices were stolem) or turn off and then on using a different number.
If your device is disabled at this point...
Connect to your computer in recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You may need to do this more than once.
Thanks for the info. I didn't see skip and tried to enter my own passcode but this didn't work. I'll give the "recovery mode" a try.
thx for the help

You have to use the Original Apple ID and Password that was used to Activate the iDevice.
