How to find out passcode from iPad

i forgot my daughters code for iPad or she has done something and changed it (shes 5) and I can’t remember what it is, too many failed attempts so it locks me out for 60 minutes. How can I set a new code without having to connect to a computer?

iPad, iPadOS 14

You will now have to go through the restore process which requires access to a computer with iTunes installed. All data on the device will be erased. Perhaps you have a friend who has a computer. If not, you will need an appointment at an Apple Store for assistance. Follow these instructions...

If your iPad is disabled, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you’ll need to follow this process:

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


You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Use of a computer to resolve the problem is unavoidable.


You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.


More information about recovery of your AppleID:

More information about recovery of your AppleID password:

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
