Hello there! There are several things you could do:


  1. Force restart your Ipad
  2. Usually there’s an image like the top in the Ipad’s recovery process, does it apply to you?
  3. For other ways, like Itunes and DFU, your personal data on Ipad may be compromised


Therefore, before further actions can be taken, may I know more about your device’s condition so everything can be more suited? Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon!
