Hi jeanfromcabot,


Thanks for reaching out to the community. Settings to allow you to regain access to the iPad can not be altered by signing into another account. If you are unable to remember the passcode, for security reason you will have to restore the iPad. Restoring the iPad will remove all data including the passcode from the iPad.


  1. "Make sure that you have a computer (Mac or PC)
  2. Turn off your iPad
  3. Put your iPad in recovery mode
  4. Restore your iPad"


If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support


Have a nice day.
