Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My IPad was disabled from putting the password incorrect too many times so I connected it to my Mac and did the recovery mode process, but whenever I try to restore the IPad, it disconnects and goes back to the lock screen. Is there any way to fix my IPad that anyone can tell me?
Thanks
iPad, iPadOS 13

I tried the first link you sent me, but thats what I've been doing already. The problem I'm having is that even though the ipad is in recovery mode, in the middle of resetting from my mac it goes out of recovery mode and back to the lock screen. I'm so confused because I've tried countless things to make it work but it won't budge.
