What’s up guys, Welcome back to Tenorshare channel.
If you forget the Lock Screen passcode on your iPad.
You will see this iPad is disabled message after entering the wrong passcode for 6 times
in a row.
And the remaining time will get longer after more failed attempts.
If we fail 10 times, iPad will be permanently disabled and requires you to connect to iTunes.
Fortunately, you can still unlock it without using the passcode at all.
In this video, we will go over 3 most popular methods.
iTunes, 4uKey, and find my.
Now, let’s get into it.
First, you can restore the iPad to factory settings in recovery mode using iTunes.
You can launch iTunes on your computer.
Then plug your iPad in.
You need to put iPad in recovery mode so that iTunes can recognize it.
For iPad with home button.
Press the home button and the power button at the same time.
Wait until the screen goes black.
When the restore screen shows up.
That means your iPad is in recovery mode.
For iPad without home button.
Quickly press and release volume up.
Then press and release volume down.
Then press and hold the side button until you see the recovery mode screen.
Now iTunes should detect your iPad.
And you will see the option to update or restore.
Select the restore option.
Then iTunes will download the latest iOS firmware for you automatically.
Once done, it will start restoring.
All your content and settings on the device will be erased in the process.
You can restore them back if you have backed up your iPad before.
Well done, now you should see a message saying that your iPad has been restored to factory
settings.
Then you will see the hello screen showing up on the iPad.
Let’s go ahead and set up.
We can create a new passcode.
If you have backed up before.
You can restore the data back from here.
Here we just skip the backup.
Then here we go.
We are back on the Home Screen.
Just like that.
If you have difficulty using iTunes.
4uKey will be a nice alternative.
It works like this.
From the Home Screen, click start.
Then connect your iPad to the computer.
Hit next to proceed.
Then we will get a step by step guide on how to enter recovery mode.
We follow the instructions to enter recovery mode.
Once done, 4uKey will match the latest iOS firmware for you.
You can download it to any location you want.
And then, we can start unlocking.
The passcode, Face ID or Touch ID will be removed in the process.
Along with all the content and settings.
You can restore them from your backup later.
Well done, it says the screen lock has been removed successfully.
And the hello screen shows up again.
As simple as that.
Moving on to the last part.
If you have turned on find my on your device.
You can erase the passcode using find my app.
Or the web version in iCloud.com.
Let’s take the app version for example.
Open find my on your another device.
Tap devices on the button.
Select your device in the list.
Tap erase this device.
Go on with the rest of the options.
And enter your Apple ID password when prompted.
Then as you can see.
Your iPad is being restored wirelessly.
This is a little faster than the other two.
Once done, you can see the hello screen.
So guys, this is how you can restore your iPad when you forgot the passcode.
Thanks for watching.
Have a nice day.
See you.
