When you lock yourself out of your iPad, the standard unlocking method involves restoring the device through iTunes. However, you can alternatively unlock the tablet through iCloud using a feature that’s normally reserved for lost or stolen devices. For this to work, you must have enabled the Find My iPad feature on your tablet before it became locked. If you use iCloud to back up your iPad, you can unlock the iPad without losing your settings. If you don’t have a backup, however, your personal information and app data is permanently lost. Warnings Writer Bio
