Q: ipad pro is stuck on apple screen

Look here for suggestions.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on - Apple Support

It seems something has gone wrong.

You will need a computer running iTunes to restore the iPad using recovery mode. You will have to set it up again.

If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Erase your device with recovery mode

If you've never synced with iTunes or set up Find My iPhone in iCloud, you'll need to use recovery mode to restore your device. This will erase the device and its passcode.

1. Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
2. While your device is connected, force restart it: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't let go when you see the Apple logo — keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.
   
3. When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Restore.
   
   iTunes will download software for your device. If it takes more than 15 minutes, your device will exit recovery mode and you'll need to repeat steps 2 and 3.
   
   
4. Wait for the process to finish. Then you can set up and use your device.

That solution does not work. The reference is for a telephone or Ipod. Content is stored in the cloud, not I Tunes.

That has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all. The article that I referenced says iPhone, iPad and iPod right in the title so it applies to all three. Furthermore, it has the same instructions in it that Phil posted below.

Did you actually read the article?
