In some rare cases, you may find yourself in a scenario where you're looking to wipe an iPad or other iOS device to factory settings, but the device you have is currently password protected and you don't know the password. Show
I have found myself in this situation as I am helping to sell a friend's old iPad that he understandably wants to be wiped prior to its sale. Since he had previously set a 4 digit password to access the iPad's contents and I cannot contact him to ask what the password is (he is out of the country at the moment), I will have to resort to manually overriding the password and restoring the device. There are two different ways to go about doing this and I will run you through each of them. Method #1: Reset an iPad Previously Synced With Your Computer's iTunes
Method #2: Reset An iPad That Was Never Synced With Your Computer's iTunes
