"Guided access: It won’t type that’s the problem. Nothing types at that point"

Return this:

Being a new iPad and getting all these issues, I suggest returning this. 14 days is the time limit to return it.


Apple Support Contact Info:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :

"Guided access: Not when it’s in guided access. It stops working when I want to get out with passcode, can’t type it. Tried restarting no success"

Try a New Passcode:

See if you can use the current passcode, when assigning a new passcode. Be certain you keep a handwritten, hardcopy of the password, sorted in a private location that only you are aware of, and only you have access to. Go Here: Set a passcode on iPad - Apple Support
