need help accessing moms ipad

my mom passed away 2 years ago. I have her ipad and was freaked out when I first logged on to it and someone must not have know that she passed as her facebook account was still logged on. I closed the ipad, turned it off and hadn't turned it on in a long time. Now I want to access it but its asking for her apple id and password. I cannot get thos info. What can I do?

As a close relative, you may have sufficient knowledge to be able to recover your mother’s AppleID:


To recover your mom’s AppleID,, 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:
