help with resetting password

[noseyparker100]

Hello
I hope someone out there can give me some immediate help. Sorry if this is not the right section. I am in the process of separating from my partner. The DCs know and everything is mostly amicable. however my dc1 was using his dad's ipad and came across a few messages between ex p and friends which eluded to ex having gay sex and using gay porn. DC was disturbed, i managed to deal with the situation with dc. since then i have been snooping around ex p's ipad, he must have figured this out as he set a password to access message. i guessed the password not realising that it was probably a trap and now i need to reset the password before he or dcs get home. dc's home in an hour.

sorry

I don't understand why you need to reset the password?

If the iPad still has the same password that he set, then there's no problem, surely? Just wait for it to lock itself.

Or do you mean that you want to delete any record of you having accessed it?

If he's really set a trap then you're probably burnt already (e.g. if he has an iPhone linked to the same Apple account).

I would say just leave it and say nothing. Then if he asks you about it just be honest - you had valid concerns about your DC.

The password will come back on if you just leave it be (unless you changed it?). Delete history and double click the home button til the screen contents appears to minimise and swipe the open screens upwards...

Delete the message you read, wait for the ipad to lock itself and deny all knowledge.

Hope DC1 is OK and you too of course. Was that a shock?

Thanks all. Bitoutofpractise, yes it was a shock. I had no idea. We have not shared a bed for over 7yrs. DC was disturbed initially but I convinced him that his dad and friends were just having a joke.

Re the message app, I think it has been set up so that you have to reset the password everytime you read a message, therefore I was unable to hide the fact I had read the messages. Re the original messages, he realised they had been read, as his iPad and phone are linked, and he deleted them himself and that is when he set the password and has hidden the iapplock app.

We will soon be moving out.

Oh crikey what a mess. I hope you'te alright
