    Someone got hold of my iPad 2 and put the wrong password so many times that my iPad was disabled. Is it possible to restore the iPad? Or at least restore its data?

    Hi, I have a MacBook Air model number A1369. The computer is doing something that I have never seen… what it is doing is displaying a password screen when the power button is pressed.
