I bought my daughter a new iPad. Her old iPad used a 4-digit code for login. When we try to pair the new iPad, it asks for a 6-digit code. Since there were only ever four digits before, we cannot complete the pairing, so all of her old data is hanging in Apple Purgatory somewhere. How do we get around this/address this to complete the process and regain access to her previous data?
iPad (9th generation)

Can't restore old iPad info to new iPad because of code discrepancy
