Old iPad

I would like to “clean out” my husbands old iPad (cereal # J3051MCEZ38) and set it up for my 5 yo grandson to only use the Khan Academy App. I would probably to better with a genius appt but can’t seem to figure it out. I appreciate your help. Kate

Assuming that you can sign-in to the iPad with the device passcode - and that you know the AppleID account and password - this is the process that you should follow to prepare the iPad for reuse by a new user:

This process wipes all sensitive data from the iPad - and, crucially, removes the Activation Lock that will ultimately impact reuse of the iPad by its new owner.

If your AppleID and/or associated password have 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:

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:
