ipad does not recognize apple ID

I wanted to login into my old ipad that I have not used for 4 years. However, it does not recognize my ID nor email. I tried to completely restart it but now it asks for the ID again. The suggested email axxxx@gmail.com is the only one that I have and that I used before but somehow it doesnt recognize it. What should I do next?

If you have forgotten your AppleID account credentials, they can be recovered here:

https://iforgot.apple.com


To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
