Resetting an ancient ipad - stuck in authentication loop

Hello,

I want to repurpose an old ipad my sons used to use around 10 years ago. I've managed to recover my icloud account that it was linked to, but having reset the device, it's now asking to authenticate it using another device that's linked to my account.

I do not have access to any other of the ipads, so I removed them from my icloud account, leaving just the one I have in my possession. It still asks me to authenticate from another device.

I understand security, but this is overkill.

How can I exit this infinite loop please.


iPad, iOS 9
