iPad reset

Having reset your iPad, perhaps you see an Activation Lock?

Here is Apple’s information about the Activation Lock - and how to switch-off this feature:

As you will discover, if the iPad has been activated and associated with an AppleID account that you do not control, you will need to secure the cooperation of the account owner to whom the device is locked. If you cannot secure their cooperation, you’ll not be able to technically defeat or bypass this security measure. In this situation, there is nothing that anyone here can do to help.

If you are the original owner - and have documentary evidence (i.e, the original sales invoice that shows the device serial number), then Apple may be able to assist.

If the iPad is disabled, you’ll need to follow this process:

You will also require your AppleID and associated password; if forgotten, these can be recovered here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

• Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
• Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
• Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID

Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

I hope this information, proves to be helpful in resolving your problems.  If you have some other issue, please let us know.

Where are you stuck? If you successfully erased the iPad, you set it up just like you would set up a brand new out of the box iPad. Go through the steps on the screen. Usually you would restore a backup if you have one to restore.
