My iPad broke its screen. I can try to back it up, but since I used to have a passcode I can't. So I wonder if there's a program that would help me see the screen of my iPad 2 on my computer's monitor.
Like by connecting my iPad 2 using the USB and opening a program that would do that. I truly need help... Please!!!

If you have an HD adapter you hook it up to UR tv

I can get this cable, but I wonder if I'll be able to type the passcode since the screen is completely dead.

True, but unfortunately you won't know 'till you try.

I don't think there will be a program that will let you enter the code outwith the iPad, without having the matching app installed on the pad, which you obviously can't do.
 
I want to say thank you so much for the information you guys gave me. I was able to use the VGA Adapter Cable and using my computer monitor I was able to turn off the passcode and do a back-up. That saved my life, it was after all five days worth of data.

I'm glad things worked out and you were able to save your data.
Don't hesitate to come back to the forums if you have any other problems or questions.
