(2021) Forgot Your iPad Passcode? Here’s How You Can Regain Access!

[@Lyah_444]

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I was for hours on the internet, even calling the apple support but nothing helped. This tutorial literally is the best. It was going at a perfect tempo and I understood EVERYTHING. Can`t thank you enough!!!

[@kennedytali9056]

Man, my dad hasn't used his old iPad since 2013 and he couldn't get into it because he didn't know his password. Found this video and in 30-45 min got right into it and restored his iPad with his backed up files. You're AMAZING my brotha!

[@YusufBalogun-n6u]

Rellay but I get my iPad password back if you want I can help you out

[@28gracekim]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I went to Apple Store today and they didn’t help me and asked to make an appointment. I was so frustrated and looked up on KZbin and found you! Love how you go step by step at such a slow pace that I can follow. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@freya5019]

I went to an apple store (The nearest one was 2 hours away) and the only appointment they had available for weeks was 7Am in the morning

[@taboleka]

Sir, I normally don't comment but I must say after creating a random complex passcode yesterday night I was hysterical. Today I tried all day and then found your video. You, sir, are a lifesaver. I just restored my very first iPad ever! Bless your heart, keep doing what you're doing. I'm subscribing!

WOW. This was exactly what I needed. With iTunes no longer being a thing on the newer Mac OS, this was the perfect way to restore an old iPad. I can not thank you enough!

Hey anyone reading this,don’t use this.Every comment is a bot.it doesn’t work

[@robbieeades1956]

You are a little long winded but I followed your video and got my iPad unlocked. Thanks so much and highly recommend this video.

[@robertsurdi-dr9co]

Thank you for this easy to follow explanation which solved my "ipad unavailable" after my spouse kept trying her fingerprint without reading the screen. I tired many procedures to no avail till I followed your instructions which worked exactly as described in your video. This is the first time I have ever donated to any such video etc. You deserve great praise. I hope you efforts are being rewarded.

[@wherepluto]

🎉🎉🎉 my brother gave my his old iPad Air he found and didn’t know his password. This video was a blessing to come across

[@kathyvowell4740]

Our 96-year old mom had locked herself out of her iPad. We've been trying for months to unlock it. THANK YOU!!!

[@waynehugheverett1849]

Do you have anything for a MacBook passcode. I have my Apple ID ok just not Lock Screen passcode😊

[@alisonvinotti2289]

I’m so glad finally this guy up there was able to fixed my disabled device.

[@davidaylsworth8964]

I would hazard the guess that fewer than 25% of folks have backed up their iPad. Coming from an IT environment, I’m all too familiar with the look I got after asking when they last backed up their device. Glad to see this video. I can link to it instead of seeing the disappointment on the faces of those who are about to lose everything that hadn’t been backed up.

[@onlyangcl]

hey daniel!!! thank you so much for your tutorial. i've been trying to fix my ipad for a year now, have followed all sorts of tutorials and none of them worked. i lost all hope until today when i found it while cleaning my room. i looked up tutorials, found you, and did everything you said. it worked and i have my ipad back!!! thank you so so much. it means so much

[@MAJIDFRMDA6IX]

Dose this clean all apps and everything on your iPad

[@MAJIDFRMDA6IX]

Or dose it just reset your password

[@onlyangcl]

@@MAJIDFRMDA6IX it deleted all of my stuff, i didn't have a backup unfortunately so i lost everything. i'm not really upset anymore since a lot of what i had on it, wasn't important! hope this helped :)

OMG!!! You are the best! THANK YOU, it worked. I have been without my iPad for months now because my daughter locked it.

[@ops6253]

My ISPW download said '2 hours, 11 minutes and 35 seconds'. But thank you for the vid as I can access my iPad now!

Omg this really works!! 😳😳😳 it’s been 6 months I leave my iPad not played 😩😩😩 thank you soooo much 😍😍😍

[@everlyneadamba1765]

I hope this helps me 🙏. I've not been able to get any access to my iPad for quite a bit

[@morlygourdet4329]

GUYS THIS WORKED !!!!!!!! I swear on my life this works. I was able to unlock my ipad 9 gen

[@lstarr7160]

Thank you for this very helpful video! I needed to recover/access an older iPad that was "disabled," and I could not recall the passcode. You made this process super easy to follow (no frustration or wasted time) -- and loved that this did not require purchasing a third-party app (and felt more confident knowing it was the process recommended by Apple). Thanks again! 🙂👍

[@m10shahidgmail47]

Was it an ipad air 2?

[@elliealvarez6130]

Okay but do you have to pay to use the site? Does it still stay on the Apple ID account? My grandmother recently passed away and my aunt gave me my grandmother’s iPad but no one knows the passcode.

[@Martin-gm9nc]

Hello Daniel, I tried to download the firmware several times, but iTunes always tells me that the file is not compatible. I have an iPad model A1430. Can I get help from you?

[@TheNaturalRainSleep]

Nice. After the iPad has been reseted to factory settings, I will see Apple ID n password when m setting the iPad?

[@raymondgersic6231]

Very good video. Thank you. One question: Where in the video is the iPad data moved from the iPad to the computer?

[@ondrejsinu8353]

trhank you brother because of you i save money for my children God bless you

[@deangeloburton]

Works perfect i just fixed a friends I Pad 2 took less than an hour....had to reinstall i tunes as it didn't work the first try

[@greebo6549]

👍👍👍 Can't thank you enough... got a new ipad yesterday, though I'd remembered the passcode correctly, 🙄 after numerous attempts I'd hit disabled for an hour, 🤬 Your walk through, so easy to watch and do... back up and running again in no time!! 👌😊

[@sunnyzhou8913]

..... All you really needed to do was to pull your SIM card back out and put it back in.

[@beatriztattan3146]

Hi Daniel, the Ipad I have, used to be my daughter's long time ago. She gave to my niece and my niece used a bit and now 3 years later my niece is not interested anymore in the Ipad and gave to me to put in the recycle bin. Instead I am trying to sell it but she doesn't remember her "passcode". And she lives in another country, so, in order that I follow your instructions I have to use my MacBook Air. My questions is: is this process going to compromise my data, since is not her computer? All I want is erase and restore the Ipad for selling it. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

[@realReignNZ]

Did you crack it

[@kaktuschick]

OMG, I had to keep starting over because he talks so farking much and my ADHD makes it very difficult, but I am so grateful. SO VERY GRATEFUL to this creator.

[@manuelpena3083]

Hi, thanks for the video, I did everything you said but after trying to restore my old icloud account my device asks for my previous passcode anyways and when I click on I forgot my previous passcode I cannot continue, what can I do? I'd appreciate your help or should I go to an Apple store?

[@GardenerPhyl]

Thank you so much for this detailed walk through to restore my iPad and create a new password. I’m grateful for your assistance.

[@melanieeggers9667]

Can you do this from a cell phone if you don't own a computer?

[@cosmicsoul_wav]

my friend's daughter got locked out and was able to restore it. You were very thorough and clear. thank you so much!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SrestaMzn]

Thank you very much for detailed process, I finally restored my ipad which had been locked for over 6 months.

[@FourWarning]

Simple and direct! I was able to reset all my phones that were locked (exchange students used them and they forgot what password they used. 😑

[@daisyocheita1966]

Does this work on a reg mac computer? not a laptop.

[@AuntieInArkansas]

Thanks! This video was a life saver! After chatting with Apple for over an hour, they couldn't help me. I decided to turn to KZbin for help, and I finally found the answer here. I'm so glad you posted this!

[@carlabudd]

Hi - when I type in the website it doesn't have the Identify my device/itunes/about headings, and when I downloaded the IPSW it said I didn't have an app to support it and it's not in my region - can I not do this from Canada?

[@ramonnavarro6491]

Thank you! Your tutorial does not show how it won't work if the ipad is not mine. From the instructions, it seems it can reset any iPAD.

[@limitkrank]

Btw guys it still works on school chrome book, because I did it in my school chrome book and it works 👍

[@KpParks-bh3cd]

This man’s help was such a life saver my child locker her self out and I was just about to give in and drive all the way to a apple store. Thank the lord I don’t have too!

[@ahronleesancho2716]

thank you very much!! i just finished restoring my ipad after a couple of months of being idle. so great!!!

[@stacey4110]

I was with you all the way until the part about itunes. I downloaded the software, but does the ipad really need to be mine? It's actually my brother's and he passed away. I'm trying to reset it to give it to my niece. Also, does it have to be a genuine apple cord that connects the ipad to my windows laptop in order for it to work? When I press and hold down the home button and connect the cord, nothing happens.

[@adam1161976]

Does this still work i know nothing about ipad but a friend gave me a gen 3 a2014 and he doesbt know the passcode

[@catinalconway]

Hello and thank you for your knowledge and expertise. I was unsuccessful on more than one occasion in getting my Ipad Mini unlocked. I am using an HP Chromebook x360 and when I download itunes I get an error stating the software is not compatible. if you could offer some assistance to overcome this, I would greatly appreciate your time. Thank you

[@mochamadfikri7921]

Thank you very much... my iPad is back!

Hey! I have a doubt. Is it necessary to use the authentic Apple cable to connect the iPad to the computer?

[@teerexness]

It is. Many third party cables will charge, but won't pass data.

hi, the ipad im trying to restore is old and hasnt been used in years and it seems like the ipsw file that u download is for newer updates of ios for the ipad, is there any tips how to unlock it? i try without the file and just restore it and it says that the network connection has been reset and i need to turn it on the ipad, but i cant acess it

What if I dont have a backup and my ipad is disabled? Is there a way to bypass the passcode screen?? I dont want to wipe the ipad.

[@mechillenewport9534]

Does this usually take forever. Mine pulled up the apple logo and in a bit went black again. This is what my computer is saying and has been for about 39 min. Status bar says ... preparing iPad for restore... With a blue bar all thr way across it. The iTunes box says. iPad recovery mode. iTunes is restoring the software on this ipad. Nothing is happened for awhile now. I clicked the home button on the ipad just to see if I missed anything and it is saying. Disabled. Try again in 1 hour. Has something gone wrong? Thanks for any helo.

Why would you ever use some random website's download vs just using the update the computer offers?
