Hi Russ416,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


It sounds like you have a forgotten passcode and have seen the iPhone article on the topic. The iPad steps are similar and found here: If you forgot your iPad passcode.


You may even be able to do this without a computer: If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen.


"Before you reset your device

  • You need to have a device that's using iOS 15.2 or iPadOS 15.2 or later.
  • Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch needs to be connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network.
  • You'll need your Apple ID and password that you used to set up your device."


Have a fantastic day!
