I'm trying to restore my iPad because the screen passcode was changed and cannot be remembered correctly. When attempting to restore from an iTunes backup, an error message says to first turn off Find My iPad in iCloud settings. I cannot access any setting in the iPad because of the screen lock passcode. Is there another way to do a reset or full factory reset while screen-locked?

Best Answer
Try setting the iPad in recovery mode:
connect the iPad to your computer
turn it completely off
press the power button (top button) for three (3) seconds
without letting go of the power button, press the Home button
keep them pressed for ten (10) seconds
after the ten seconds, let go of the power button without letting go of the Home button
keep pressing the Home button until a message pops in iTunes saying
restore the iPad
Try doing this a few times if you dont succeed the first time.
