I'm lockeded out of my iPad mini and I put in my apple ID and password and it won't let me in, it keeps saying activation lock
Hello,
The iPad is locked with Activation Lock. There is no way around unlocking Activation Lock without inserting the device’s associated Apple ID. If this is not an option you will have to find the original receipt for the device that clearly shows the serial number. Once you have this document you can have Apple unlock your iPad.
Install the iTunes app on your computer from here.
iTunes - Upgrade to Get iTunes Now - Apple
Then, follow these instructions.
If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Once you get your iPad back up and running, do a backup of your iPad's data to iTunes on your computer, as well.
Good Luck to You!
Try a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.
See what happens.
Are you this iPad Mini’s original owner?
Yes I am
One day it was working and the next I was locked out. I'm putting in my apple id and password but it still won't let me in
Are you sure this is the Apple ID and password you setup with this iPad?
I think so.
Do you own a real computer with iTunes app on it?
I have a computer but don't have iTunes app
When I go into apple account it says that my apple id is the one I was using on my iPad but it still isn't working. I can get into my account on the laptop but not on ipad
