Approving a new IPad
My new IPad keeps telling me I need to get it approved on another device that is signed onto ICloud. I have another IPad that has ICloud on it, but I don't know how to get the new IPad approved.
iPad, iPadOS 13

I obviously don't know how to get a two-factor identification code. My old IPad is asking me to put in my password for my Apple ID, which I did, but it's telling me the password is incorrect, which it is not. It's the same one I used to sign in here.
Well, you haven’t told us about the old iPad. Perhaps its iOS is very old. Perhaps it had used a different Apple ID.
The above article provides many paths to obtain remedies, including “If you still can’t sign in” toward the bottom.
The old IPad was just updated to IOS 12.4.8 within the last week. I did have an old password for my Apple ID for the old IPad, but I set a new one when I got the new IPad. And it won't take the old password either. I read the article, and I'll see if I can figure something out from that.
