I updated my password for my Apple ID and it won't let me sign in to my new ipad with this email or another email and all I do is keep going in circles. The ipads are very user-UNfriendly. How can I do anything on my new ipad without being able to sign in?
iPad, iPadOS 15

Try a restart.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch *
Try a forced restart. See the section towards the end of the article.

If necessary
Hard reset. -
Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from the backup.

Eric, thanks for your suggestions. I've been an avid Aphone (Android) user for many years and my iPad is brand new. No matter which email I use, it's telling me it's invalid or already taken but I was easily able to update my Apple ID and password on my android cell but my iPad doesn't want to cooperate. I'll give your suggestions a try after Apple lets me back in tomorrow.
You are welcome. Good luck.
