How to get into someones ipad without the password

If you have an iPad, you may have set a passcode to prevent people from accessing the tablet without your permission. If you forget the iPad passcode or you repeatedly enter it wrong, the iPad is disabled. In that case, you won't be able to unlock the iPad. You can reset the iPad, using its recovery mode or a computer you've synched with iTunes, but you may not be able to access data that you haven't backed up on the device.

Reset iPad Using iTunes

If you've synched an iPad with a computer in the past using iTunes, you can use this computer to reset the iPad, if you've lost the passcode. The process is the same, regardless of whether you have an iPad Mini, iPad Pro or another model, and is fairly similar to the process for an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Connect the iPad to the computer using the cable that came with it. Open iTunes on the computer. If you're asked for a passcode on that computer, try using another computer, if you've synched the device with multiple computers in the past. Otherwise, you may have to use recovery mode to restore the device.

If the process is successful, iTunes will sync your device and make a backup onto your computer from your device's data. When it's done, click "Restore iPad" within iTunes. The device will be restored to factory settings. You may be prompted to log in with your Apple ID and password, so make sure you have that information handy.

You'll be asked if you want to restore data from a backup, which could be the backup you've just taken, or the choice could be an earlier backup. Look at the dates of the backups and choose the backup that makes the most sense for your needs.

Reset iPad with Recovery Mode

If you haven't synched your iPad with a computer or you don't have that computer handy, you can still restore the device, using its built-in recovery mode. You'll still need to use a computer with iTunes. If you don't have one, you can borrow one, use one at a location like a library or bring the iPad to an Apple Store location.

Connect the device to the computer and open iTunes. Hold the home button, and the top or side button. The recovery mode screen will appear, and iTunes will ask if you want to "Update" or "Restore" the device. Choose "Restore" to restore the device to factory settings.

Since you haven't synched the iPad with iTunes, any data you have on it will be lost, unless you have some other backups.
