its now just saying security lockout only...no "erase" button

Hi Jacqlyn112, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.

I do hope the above link has resolved you security issue.

However, if it has not you can also make an appointment and have your iPad inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider). Please use this link to find one in your Country Apple – Location Selector. After going through the process, you will be given all the options available.

You can also contact Apple Support as follows:

• Online:--> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple;
• Contacting a local Apple Store or AASP among the list provided above but also again as follows Apple – Location Selector; or
• Using the "Apple Support" app, available and downloadable from App Store.

I’m getting the same message, “security lockout”. And no erase option. In fact when hooked to the computer the computer won’t recognize the iPad. This beyond crazy. You over did the security and destroyed probably hundreds of iPads with your recent update. Was that planed and on purpose? I live hour from a Apple store, old and don’t like driving long distances. So apparently I’m now screwed. Thanks a lot apple….NOT!

please help me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
