For some users, if you forget the password, then you would have no idea how to unlock iPad so as to get access to all the content on the device. Sometimes, you may encounter the screen showing that your iPhone is disabled if you have entered the wrong passwords too many times. Now, in this article, we would show more details on how to unlock disabled iPad and how to unlock iPad without password.

Method 1: Unlock your iPad with your iTunes backups

If you have ever made the backup of your iPad before, then the first solution provided for you is to unlock your iPad with iTunes backups. It is a good habit to have your iPad backed up regularly. In case of your iPad is locked, disabled or being stolen, you can easily recover your data from it. Otherwise, you’ll lose all the data. To unlock iPad screen without password or to unlock disabled iPad mean you have to remove your previous pass code and restore your iPad. But here you should also know that if you have never made a backup of your newest content on iPad, once the iTunes backup has been carried out, then all the latest content would lose from your iPad. But in order to unlock your iPad without the password, you can try to restore your iTunes. Now you can follow the steps below to unlock your iPad with your iTunes backups.

Step 1. Connect iPad to the computer you have synced with.

Step 2. Open iTunes on your computer and connect it with your iPad. If fortunate, you can enter the iTunes without password. But in most cases, there would be prompt asking for a pass code. Try another computer you’ve synced with, or use recovery mode. (The recovery mode will be mentioned below.)

Step 3. Find your iPad in summary and make a manual backup. Once the backup have finished, click Restore your iPad with the most relevant back-up. Once the restoring process have been completed, then you can restart your iPad again, and all the settings have been restored to the very beginning which would not require you to enter the password.

Method 2: Unlock your iPad in recovery mode

If you’ve neither synced with iTunes nor set up Find My iPhone in iCloud, you’ll need to wipe your iPad to factory setting to remove the password, which means you’ll suffer losing all your data on iPad and get it as a new one. But just as mentioned above, once your iPad entered the recovery mode, all the data would lose immediately, but this would allow your iPad to be restored to the very beginning state which doesn’t need passwords any more.
