When setting up the iPad, do not use your Apple ID. Use your niece's own Apple ID or create one for her if required.

See step 6 in the link above. Do not restore a backup, and do not transfer and data from your own device when setting it up.

If the AppleID and/or associated Password has been forgotten, they can be recovered here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:

Then you'll need to recover it, or as I said, create a new one for her.


She can request an account recovery process by following the steps here: link-> How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Or create a new one during setup of the iPad as explained in the support document I linked to above.
