If you are attempting to setup a recently reset iPad from the “Hello” page, do not attempt to create a new AppleID. If you do, and the AppleID already exists, you will see this error.
Instead, if you have chosen to set-up as new, do not create a new AppleID; just sign-in to iCloud with your existing AppleID.
