Hello guys,

I have an ipad (old one, probably 3rd generation or something -- bought in 2012)

i never use the ipad for nearly 3 years now and suddenly i remember i have 1 file inside that ipad that i need, so i charged it and.... after 3 years of never unlocking it, i completely forgotten the password.

what's the best way to get around this? should i visit the apple store or support?

PS. there's no iCloud link to it, so nothing in the cloud.

thanks

Do you remember your Apple ID? Call CS for assistance. If not then you need to provide receipt to prove ownership?
