“Hard Reset” does not appear in Apple’s Lexicon for iPad or iPhone. Perhaps you refer to a forced-restart…:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




If instead you wish to fully reset an iPad prior to disposal, or in readiness to be set-up again “as new”, you would be best advised to follow this process:
