How do I get my iPad out of lost mode?

Somehow my iPad got put into lost mode, and now it's asking for a passcode to unlock it. I never created a passcode for it. I'm not sure if my Apple ID or iPad itself has been hacked into for this to happen, but I know I haven't done anything to put it in lost mode. Anybody have any ideas?

Lost mode won't prevent a device from connecting to a known WiFi network. When a device has been marked as Lost you want to be able to track its location. If its not connecting to your known networks I would restart the unit. If that still doesn't work, you should treat it as if you simply forgot the passcode.


If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
