I forget my iPad activation lock id & password

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.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:

https://appleid.apple.com

Use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you’re the iPad’s original owner, supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove the lock.

If you still have access to the iPad - and can open Settings - your AppleID may be visible on any one of these pages:

• [Your Name / AppleID]
• iTunes & App Store
• Messages > Send & Receive
• FaceTime > AppleID
• Music
• TV

If you’re locked-out at the Activation Lock page, you’ll see a hint - from which, if you are the bona-fide owner, you should be able to identify your AppleID primary email address.
