iPad stuck in Guided Access Hello I haven't used Guided Access in a while and I needed to use it again. I had previously set a passcode and I went to use it expecting it would ask for a new passcode, but it must've used the old one. I have no idea what the old one is and I can't get anything off. I had tried holding down Home/Lock for 10 seconds but it just seemed to start up, unlock itself and go back to the app I was on. 

Guided Access was still turned on and I have no idea how to remove it.
If you continue to be unable to guess the passcode by brute force attempts, you can connect the device to a computer that has synced the device and unlock things with a sync.

Also, this article shows an alternate method involving a reboot, force quit, and other manipulation of settings in a specified order. Hopefully it helps if you can't use the two "approved" methods above.
