I recently changed my iPad password. The new password unlocks and opens my iPad. Then it asks me to put in my passcode again to access iCloud and it fails every time. HELP!
iPad, iOS 9
How to fix:

Use the password that you use for your apple ID not to open your ipad if you don't know what it is then type it in wrong a few times and click change password and change it to what you want. This will work because the ipad password isn't connected to your apple ID.

My Apple ID password is 9 characters long. I am only given 6 spaces to input my iPad password and they are asking for the same password that opens my iPad in order to access iCloud. Every time I enter it, it fails and counts my attempts until the iPad is disabled.
If you don’t have a backup of your iPad, get that now.
What is the text of the prompt? Either transcribe that text here, or use a camera and crop to just the prompt dialog box.
There can be Apple ID prompts for iCloud access and those can be “not now’d”, there can be two-factor authentication verification codes (six digits), but there’s not expected to be a second passcode prompt, outside of a very few cases such as for when backups being made on a Mac.
When all else fails, try a restart.
The passcode to unlock your iPad is not the same as the password that you use for your Apple ID and iCloud. Are you using the password associated with your Apple ID for iCloud?
