Here are the steps to factory reset an iPad 2 without a password:

1. Connect your iPad 2 to a computer with iTunes installed.

3. Once detected, click on 'Restore iPad'.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the reset process.

It is essential to regularly back up your device to prevent data loss in situations like these. Additionally, consider setting up features like 'Find My iPad' to help locate or remotely wipe your device if it gets lost or stolen.
