can I factory restart my ipad to set it up all over again?

I received a new iPad on my birthday and every time I try to set it up something fails to transfer over from my iPhone 11. Is there a way that I can just factory reset the whole thing and begin from scratch?

Here is the way to start over, as if the iPad just came out of the box.

If neither of the above work, read the "If you can't erase your device" section in the last link, including the last part about contacting Apple.
