iPhone/iPad Locked out Passcode Factory Reset

So I had a iphone and ipad that I had no clue what the passcode was and I wanted to factory reset it. I did some google searches, and found several instructions, but none were simple & straightforward. Here's my simpler straightforward instructions. Warning of course you're going to lose everything.

0.) download and install itunes
1.) start itunes
2.) Plug iphone/ipad into computer with usb
3.) Power off phone
4.) Hold Home and Power down in iphone/ipad for about 10 seconds until apple power-up icon goes away
5.) Continue holding home ... release Power button ... so you're just holding home
6.) Hold home until computer has popup from itunes that says iphone/ipad detected in recovery mode
7.) click ok
8.) click restore ipad
9.) wait until iphone reboots, you should now be on a new phone welcome screen with no password

iPhone Location Services are Scarey

I recently came across just by happen-stance a request made from the SpeedTest 3.6.1 application. This application has legitimate purposes and there is nothing wrong with it if you know what you're agreeing to. But what I thought was slightly disturbing, and I'm sure this exists on tons and tons of other iPhone apps as well, is that in plain text in the URL as a query string parameter, the exact GPS location (latitude and longitude) of your phone is sent out. I confirmed this works, and was able to track the phone to the exact building and get a pic from google earth. Plus I now know the exact version of the phone and it's operating system. Freaky. It's like straight out of CSI Cyber :-P Protect that data developers!

Sample url:
