iPad frozen on login page

My IPad Pro is frozen. The login page allows me to enter my passcode but the iPad won’t recognize the entry. I was in accessories when it happened. It froze and now speaks whatever is on the page. The iPad will go to the slider when I try to turn it off but the slider won’t respond. Help.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Perform a forced-restart of your iPad:


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 button until...
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

  • Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time; do not release either button until...
  • When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
