Same thing happened to me when my bluetooth keyboard was active in my backpack on a long trip. The keys were "pressed" while I was moving from place to place creating repeated wrong password entries. When I got to my destination the iPad was disabled. I had to wait until I got home to connect it to a pc and itunes to reset it - wipe it clean - set it up as new and then restore everything. Most everything I needed was on iCloud so it was less of an issue than I initially thought. Here are the steps:

Hi if you forget your password the only option is restoring it to default factory by connecting it to iTunes after you restore it you can use your backup to reinstall all your data

If your son cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your iPad using the computer you last synced your iPad with. Using the last computer you synced with allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync all your data, apps, etc.


To begin the process, connect the iPad to your computer using the USB cable or lightning cable. Open iTunes and select the restore option.

If you restore on another computer, you can still unlock the device and remove the passcode, but your data and apps will be wiped.


Hope that helps!

You should log onto Itunes, and when you go on Itunes you connect it. After that you just have to restore your ipad and go through the setup again. The only problem is that all the things you have saved on the Ipad will be erased.

Try connecting it to iTunes, turning off the ipad, then hold both the lock and the home button for 10 seconds, then relese the lock button while continuing to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes the iPad. Then you should be able to reset it without problem.
