Activation Lock

Is there any other way to set-up my old ipad? I have restored the ipad as I am unable to remember the passcode. I was able to set-up the ipad up to the activation lock but unfortunately, I also do not remember the password that was used to set-up the ipad.


The ipad is still linked into my find my iphone app.


Any advise?

If your device is Activation Locked, this help page will provide most of the information that you’ll need:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365


If you have forgotten your AppleID or associated password, these can be recovered here:

https://iforgot.apple.com


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.
