iPad is disabled - Passcode is known - Option to enable without erasing content

Hi,


I have iPad (4th Gen)


  • During my absence, my daughter attempted to open the iPad multiple times. Due to repeated attempts, iPad is disabled now.
  • I know the Passcode to open iPad, but unfortunately I don't any way to make it ask for Passcode.
  • I know the login / password for Apple ID that is used in the iPad.
  • So far, I have not done any backup using neither iCloud nor iTunes.


Under the circumstance, what is the option to enable iPad without erasing its content.


Any possibility to enable it, either by making it ask for Passcode or at least username / password of Apple ID which is used in the iPad.


Thank you in advance.

iPad, iOS 10

There is no way to re-enable the iPad without wiping it clean and restoring it. Any data on it that was not backed up will be lost.
