How to Unlock an iPad Without a Password?
Solution 1: Factory Reset Using the Recovery Mode
In order to remove the password from your iPad, you will need to factory reset it. Hopefully, you did a backup recently, and you will be able to restore your data after the reset is done. If you haven’t done it, be prepared to lose your data. But at least you’ll get your iPad back.
The first option is to reset your iPad using iTunes. If you have ever synced your iPad with your computer using iTunes, you will be able to use it now to reset your device. Follow these steps:
- Start iTunes and then connect your iPad to the computer using a USB cable
- Force your iPad into recovery mode (press the top button and volume button until the slider appears. Slide to turn off your device; if you have an iPad with a home button, the procedure is almost the same, press the Top button until the slide appears and while connecting your iPad to the computer, press the Home button)
- You will get a message on your computer that your iPad has a problem and you need to restore it
- Press the “restore” button.
Your iPad is not reset. If you have a recent backup, you can use it to restore your data. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211078
