Good day to you eawheat, 


If you’re seeing this message on the set up screens, we’d like to have you attempt a force restart on your iPad. Restart iPad


Force restart iPad
If iPad isn’t responding, do one of the following:
• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Once restarted, are you prompted to go through the same steps again or did the set up finish? 


Thanks.
