Forgot the iPad screen password and cannot open the phone. Entering the wrong password too many times will cause the phone to be deactivated. When we forget the iPad password, how should we unlock it?
First we can use the iCloud website and iTunes to solve the problem
iTunes
Use a computer that has been connected to the iPad before to connect to the iPad again. Select the update and restore operations to unlock it, which will delete the data on the phone, so we need to back up the data in advance.
If the iPad cannot be connected to the computer, you can also try to enter the recovery mode. The following is the method for entering recovery mode for all iPad models. You can choose the method according to your iPad model:
Pre-iPad 7 models
1. First press the power button to turn on the computer. The Apple logo will appear on the screen. Do not release the power button.
2. Press and hold the Home button again until the screen goes black.
3. When the screen goes black, please release the power button and continue to hold the Home button.
4. Know that iTunes on the computer has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
How to enter recovery mode on iPad 7 series
1. Press and hold the power button for 3-4 seconds. While holding the power button, press the volume - button at the same time.
2. Press and hold both buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds
3. Then release the power button and continue to press the volume - button for about 6-7 seconds.
iPad 7 and later models
1. Press and release the volume up button
2. Press and release the volume down button
3. Press and hold the power button and continue holding it while the device restarts. Continue to hold the power button even after the Apple logo appears
4. Release the "Power" button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" prompt
iCloud
If you really can't connect to the computer, you can also log in to the iCloud website, log in to your Apple ID, find the iPad that you forgot the password, and choose to erase the iPad. This operation will delete all data on the iPad, so the unlock password will also be deleted. It also needs to be backed up in advance.
unlock tool
We can also use third-party unlocking tools to unlock the iPad password on our own, such as Okafeng Apple Unlock Master, select the unlock screen password function and unlock it yourself.
