Hard reset? This isn’t a description used by Apple - and has different meanings to different people. You may have completed a restart, a forced-restart - or perhaps have attempted one of the reset options from iPad Settings - or something else entirely.


This support page may be helpful in resolving a problem with restoring your iPad:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


If the linked support page doesn’t help with the problem, if you can be better define the issue, perhaps we can provide additional guidance.


I hope this information and guidance proves to be helpful in resolving the problem.
