I just got my tablet and finished setting it up, but I forgot my iPad passcode after I shut off the screen. I don't have a computer or any other Apple devices, so i'm not sure how to reset it.
Hi prudencio_h,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities, and congratulations on your new iPad. It sounds like you've just set the iPad up with a passcode, and have forgotten the passcode you chose, correct? If so, we can provide some guidance to help you resolve the issue. Since the passcode is set locally on the device by the user, Apple would have no way to access the information or reset it. We've linked some troubleshooting steps that will explain how to resolve the issue below for you.
