Forgot your iPad Passcode?

Even if you haven't turned on Find My iPad and you've never plugged your iPad into your PC, you can reset the iPad by going into recovery mode. However, you will need to plug it into a PC with iTunes. If you don't have a PC with iTunes, you can download it from Apple, and if you don't have a PC at all, you can always use a friend's computer.
Here's the trick:

  1. Connect the Lightning-to-USB cable to your PC. This is the same cable you use to charge your iPad. (If you have an older iPad, it will be a 30-pin-to-USB cable.) Only plug it into your PC. Leave your iPad unplugged for now.
  1. Turn off your iPad. You can do this by holding down the Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPad until a red slider appears and then move the slider to power down the iPad.
  1. Hold down the Home button. This is the button at the bottom of the iPad, just below the display.
  1. While holding down the home button, connect the cable to your iPad.

This will put the iPad into recovery mode and you can restore it to factory default.
