Hey there 29Rib42–,
You mentioned several details, and we're confused as to what the actual issue is that's occurring on your iPad. We'd like to help by learning more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:
- If the Lock Screen passcode has been forgotten, then the next steps to take are listed in the link above your post: If you forgot your iPad passcode
- If you instead meant you forgot your Apple ID password, and you're seeing an Activation Lock message on your iPad, then the next step would be to reset your Apple ID password to then enter it for the Activation Lock message: If you forgot your Apple ID password
- If neither of the two issues described above are what's happening, the more details you provide, the better we'll understand the exact issue occurring.
Cheers!
