How do you change the Apple ID on your device? I am trying to use an older iPad and it has an old Apple ID that I no longer use. I want to remove the Apple ID and use my current Apple ID.

Use the article below as a guide of where to sign out of the old ID. Make sure you turn of Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID.

I started to reset an old ipad before giving away. I ignorantly decided to cancel process about 3/4 way through and do later. Then later unable to get ipad to restart beyond passcode screen!

I Press home button, It opens into passcode screen, I put in password, black screen comes up, then screen with apple comes up for about 34 sec. , then opens into passcode screen again. It keeps recycling that way but never completes the cycle or opens ipad.

PLEASE HELP
