I am trying to set up my new iPad, it has been stuck on the screen that says "may take a few minutes to set up your apple id." For twelve hours. I pressed the off and home button to start the set up over and it always stops at this screen.
It is possible that your WiFi router is unexpectedly blocking access to some internet/server resources - which might be resolved by a simple restart of your router.
To restart you home router, disconnect power - then wait at least 30 seconds before restarting. When you router has rebooted (which may take several minutes), force-restart your iPad using the procedure already described.
If you continue to experience difficulties, I recommend that you seek assistance directly from Apple Support - as you may need assistance with your AppleID account. You’ll find the Contact Support link at top-right of this page.
Please let us know how you get on.

You’ll need to restart the iPad.
Thankyou. I've done this four times, I select erase and start over, fill out all the steps and it stays stuck on the same screen every time.
Stuck on setting up my apple id for twelve hours.
