Unlike Mac and Windows PC with which you may be familiar, iOS/iPadOS don’t have a “safe mode” that permits you to boot the iPad into limited functionality.


An iPad (or iPhone) can boot onto a fully running configuration - or can be placed into its Recovery/Restore state that will require the device to have its Operating System reinstalled.


Have you encountered a problem or difficulty with which you need assistance or guidance?

My Ipad 11 pro, model A1893, not matter how many times I reboot, it it pops up with a full screen of edge, asking me to sign in with an account that no longer exists. I have tried putting it in recovery mode, but it just says the firmware for this model is unavailable. the thing is entirely locked down and I can do a thing with it. help please I cannot update or restore it. Thanks
