If you have forgotten your iPad passcode, or if the iPad is disabled, you’ll need to follow this process:

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211078


However, 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.

If you forgot your password, you can click on the link shown on the iPad to try to get it going again. The password is a security measure to keep unwanted users from accessing your device. There is no way around it. If you call Apple Customer support and are able to prove to them that you are the owner of the device they “may” be able to help you, but there is no guarantee that they will.
