    iPad Forgot iPad password

    I have forgotten the passwords on my iPad due to not using for a while. Is there any other way to get into it except for resetting? This is where the fun starts... I can't reset it because I can't get into my iTunes account because it wants to send an authorisation code to my locked iPad :)

    Kids locked me out of iPad (iOS 9 or 10)

    Is there a consumer "gray key" service where I can send my iPad to be unlocked or any GitHub repos that have exploits to unlock a device that is NOT updated to the latest OS? My kids locked me out of an iPad. I don't think there's anything critical on there except photos, but given all the...
