Here is how to erase-

Go to Settings- General- Scroll down to Reset- Erase All Content and Settings.

All information will be permanently deleted from your device.


Entirely missing the point of necessary steps to correctly prepare the iPad for Trade-in - more specifically, removal of the Activation Lock. If the Activation Lock is not removed, the trade-in will be rejected.
