Assuming that you can still access your iPad, you can erase all data and settings from iPad settings. This procedure differs from a Factory Restore (that requires access to a PC or Mac) only in that the factory restore process will also (re)install a fresh copy of the most recent version of iOS/iPadOS that your iPad is capable of running.


For iPadOS15.x or later

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content and Settings


For iOS/iPadOS14 or earlier

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings


If you do wish to perform a full Factory Restore, installing a fresh copy of iPadOS, you will unavoidably need access to a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS). If you don’t have access to a suitable computer, the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.

You can:

  1. Backup the content of that iPad6 to iCloud, using these instructions:--> How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iCloud - Apple Support
  2. Use this procedure to erase all data and restart from scratch:--> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  3. Restore your data from the previously made backup:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


If you don't care about data currently stored on that device, you can skip step #1 and step#3 (by performing just step#2) .
