Solution 1. Bypass iPad Passcode via Siri without Data Loss [ for iOS 8 to iOS 10.1]

With this solution, you can bypass your iPad password on your device without even using a computer. Unfortunately, this method only works for iOS devices running from iOS 8 to iOS 10.1. The success rate of using this approach is not high, but it is still worth a try. 

Step 1. Hold down the “Home” button for a few seconds to activate Siri > Ask Siri to open an app that doesn’t exist on your device. 

Step 2. Then, Siri will explain that this app does not exist and then bring up the App Store icon for you to search for the app.

Step 3. Tap the App Store icon > Then a window will pop up > Choose to download the app or update other apps. (By the way, you can also complete this process by double pushing the Home button.)

Step 4. Once the preview appears, just close the active front screen task, and you have already unlocked your device.

Solution 2. Remotely Bypass iPad without Passcode via iCloud

Apple’s iCloud service is another effective way to remove your iPad passcode without a computer. It requires you to link your iPad with your iCloud account and enable the “Find My iPad” via iCloud.com. With this method, you can unlock your iPad remotely without needing you to sit at your computer.

Step 1. Go to iCloud.com from any device > Login with your Apple ID and password.

Step 2. Select “Find My iPhone” > Tap on “All Devices”, and then select your device.

Step 3. Select “Erase iPad” from the listed options, and then it starts to wipe your files.

Conclusion

The above five are easy ways to unlock your iPad without a password. All these methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and you can select a suitable one based on your needs.

Of all methods, we recommend you use Solution 1 in part 1 since it can protect your device from attacks by viruses and bypass passcodes with one click. As for iTunes, it is not user-friendly enough, and it crashes very often, so it is not a preferred choice. If you have no computer at hand, you can also try to unlock your iPad using iCloud or Siri.
