My iPad screen isn’t allowing me to unlock it
Connect your iPad to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to charge. While the iPad is connected to the Power Adapter, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
