Q: Verification Failed.

iPad 2 tried to restore it got stuck now , cannot log into iCloud and cannot reset , every time  enter my correct Apple ID I got the message verification failed

Guys I found out why mine didnt work its becuz mine had the date 2004 instead of 2016 so then I switched it to the correct date and it worked tell me if ur date was also wrong

had same issue and fixed it by allowing mobile data usage for settings. Pretty simple but frustrating the error message wasn't snart enough to identify this simple fix!!

Check your date and time.
i had the same and i fix it

i know this is an old post, but I found it looking for a solution to the same problem and I found one! Reset your network setting like someone had suggested. Then reboot your phone. Voila!

Thank you....an hour and a half of my life I will never get back

Thank you HJVT

I had this issue after iOS 10 update on my iPad and after searching the web and installing iCloud  on my pc to find out how to fix my issue . . . final came across this discussion and your very simple and straight forward intructions.

It worked!! Thank you very much . . .

------SOLUTION----

Check if you're connected to Wi-Fi or 4G LTE.

If you're connected to Wi-Fi, it should work.

If you don't have Wi-Fi, you need to go to your Settings>Cellular>scroll down to "Settling" and hit the white button so it turns green and then try again. It should work.
