Forgot my iPad passcode

The instructions below may work if you have forgotten a passcode but will not work if your device says it is disabled. For a disabled device you will have to use the instructions in the next link. This will require a computer. If you do not have one then ask a friend if you can use theirs or take you device to a place where you can use one such as an Apple Store.

If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled

For a forgotten passcode with no "disabled" message and you have no computer:

1. Use the Find My app, or a web browser signed into https://www.icloud.com/find , to erase the disabled device. More at iCloud: Erase your device with Find My iPhone - https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/erase-your-device-mmfc0ef36f/icloud

2. Restore the device from its backup.

Even if you have no backup, if you were using some iCloud services to sync items such as Contacts or Photos those may reappear once you sign back into your iCloud account --> Set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT208681

As I posted, several others have said this worked for them but in general your question will invoke multiple replies from helpers here saying you absolutely must use a computer, plus I will never receive a "recommended" from Apple for the solution I posted above. Anyway, it would be nice to have confirmation, or not, that this worked for you. :-)

Hahaha! :-D I guess I was wrong about not getting an AR!
