Apple ID error on new ipad

I’m trying to configure my new ipad and my apple ID seems to keep having an error so I can’t connect my messages or facetime or anything. I changed my apple ID password and it still won’t work. What do i do?

See if anything here helps.


Messages - If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime.  


Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device.      


If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
