The actual PIN may depend on why your device is locked!
Has she locked in iClouds via 'Find my …'?
If that is the case the PIN is set on the control panel in iCloud - turn that off on iCloud.com & reboot the device, hopefully it can get an internet connection to change it's locked state.
You could try triple clicking the home button - that is an accessibility shortcut that can enable things like voiceover.
It could also be locked because she changed the PIN, check it's correct according to her 🙂
my daughter somehow got my Ipad2 locked. It has a voice guidance mode activated. The password screen shows no effect when I punch in my password. Any suggestions???
