Question

How do I unlock my iPod if I forgot my pass code?

Community Answer

Connect it up to your Mac book and wipe the whole thing. You could lose all the songs on your Ipod so be careful.

Question

I never set up a passcode on my new iPad, and now it's asking for my passcode. What should I do?

Community Answer

Possibly watch some YouTube videos on how to unlock any device. Also, someone could have made a passcode on your iPad (maybe an annoying sibling or hacker?), so once you get into it, change the passcode in 'Settings'.

Community Answer

You won't be able to unlock an iPad if you're unsure of the password. You would have to erase the iPad using a computer.
