Hey guys and girls I have a problem with my iPad. I have forgotten the code you use to limit what you Can do on the iPad. For example make it impossible to buy inapp stuff. What can i do? Please help me. On forhand thank you denise
I have no experience with the iPad, but from what I saw Apple say the only way to recover is to reset the iPad using iTunes, of course this means wiping the data from what I could see, here is what I found in the manual, hope this helps:-

Security Features
Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others.
Passcodes and Data Protection
For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPad.
Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On. Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter the passcode to unlock it, or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses your passcode as the key for encrypting mail messages and their attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may also be used by some apps available in the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock screen in Settings indicates that data protection is enabled.
To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation and special characters. For more information, see “Passcode Lock” on page 146.

Passcode Lock
Initially, iPad doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it. For security, you can create a passcode.
Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPad then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Turn the passcode off: Choose General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode Off, then enter your passcode.
Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, then tap Change Passcode. Enter your passcode again, then enter and reenter your new passcode.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See “Removing a Backup” on page 164.

Removing a Backup
You can remove an iPad backup from the list of backups in iTunes. You may want to do this, for example, if a backup was created on someone else’s computer.
Remove a backup:
1 In iTunes, open iTunes Preferences.
ÂÂMac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
ÂÂWindows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
2 Click Devices (iPad does not need to be connected).
3 Select the backup you want to remove, then click Delete Backup.
4 Click Delete Backup, to confirm you wish to remove the selected backup.
5 Click OK
