    Bricked iPad with Passcode Locked

    You will need to restore the device using a special mode called DFU mode. We have a sticky tutorial on how to enter DFU mode here - DFU Mode for Dummies

    Once your device is in DFU mode, open iTunes on your PC and press restore. This will completely wipe your device, but it will get round the issue of not having the passcode.

    If you run into further problems we have a failsafe restore tutorial here - TUTORIAL - Failsafe method to restore the current version of IOS.
