New iPad Pro is frozen and won’t work

Today I was given a new IPad Pro for my birthday and I was setting it up, it was working fine but when I got to the “Enter IPhone Password” stage that part froze, I can’t cancel and I can’t really click on it. I can still change volume and turn on and off my tablet. I’ve tried to reset it or whatever but it’s not working, what do I do?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

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:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button; do not release the top button until...
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Timing is crucial - as is following the steps precisely as described. When performed correctly, your iPad Pro will restart.
