Forgot Your iPad’s Screen Lock Passcode? Here’s How to Reset It

If you have forgotten the main passcode that helps you unlock the screen lock on your iPad, then you can use the Face ID or Touch ID to quickly unlock your device. However, keep in mind that you will be safe as long as you are not rebooting your device. If your device reboots, you will have to provide the passcode in order to access the device, and then, none of the other methods will work, not even the face unlock or fingerprint ID.

If you are stuck on the locked iPad screen, then there is still a way to unlock it without even entering your passcode. All you have to do is the factory reset your device in order to unlock it in case you have forgotten the screen lock password. Keep in mind that it will wipe all data stored in your device. Glady, you will be able to restore all your data using a backup if you have created it. 

Here’s how to factory reset your iPad to reset the forgotten passcode:

1.      On your computer or another smartphone, head to www.icould.com using a web browser. 

2.      Then, log in to your Apple iCloud account that is linked to your iPad. 

3.      Make your way to the Find iPhone icon. 

4.      Afterward, go to All Devices.

5.      Select your iPad from the list. 

6.      Hit the Erase iPad button to hard reset your iPad. 

7.      Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the process. 

Your iPad will now automatically reset, and all data/settings will be removed, including the screen lock or passcode that you forgot. Keep in mind that your iPad should be connected to the internet and turned on in order to use this method.
