Usually a brand new iPad doesn't ask for VPN authentication during setup. The VPN is, in case, added by the user after the initial setup.


Is this VPN wanted? I mean, do you really need a VPN connection or is it an unwanted connection request? The authentication information you mention is really related to the VPN account?


If you don't need a VPN you can try to uninstall it like described in this article: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/01/12/how-to-uninstall-vpn-iphone-ipad/
