Without his help, your ONLY option is to totally erase and reset your iPad now.

If you never backed up the data on this iPad, all will be lost, now!

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

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


If the passcode has been changed, or is not being shared with you, any locally stored data is now lost - but, assuming you have an iCloud (or iTunes) backup, it can be restored to your iPad from the backup.


To restore the iPad, you’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).


You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:

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.


More information about recovery of your AppleID:

More information about recovery of your AppleID password:

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:

Given the circumstances, you might wish to consider changing your AppleID Password. More details here, including the steps that you should follow after changing your AppleID password:
