Theft Deterrent:

The passcode is a theft deterrent. That is the point to resetting it.


Troubleshooting a Locked iPad:


Being Locked Out...

Hold it Right There!

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot your iPad Passcode - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


No Success?

If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.
