My Dad passed away and I "inherited" his iPad. Even though I have my own AppleID I cannot get the requests for his AppleID password to stop coming up every 10 seconds or so. Its infuriating and makes the iPad unusable. I don't know his password, his email account has been deleted and I don't know the answers to his security questions. How do I get the iPad to stop asking me for his password!?!
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Gather up proof that your father was original purchaser of the iPad, his death certificate, and proof
that you inherited the iPad (such as will, probate record/decision) and take all of that with the
iPad to a physical Apple store. Or gather all that information and contact AppleCare.
Thanks, imobl. I can't find the iPad receipt but we did find his Apple Care Protection Plan certificate. Also found out his upgraded iCloud storage plan and iTunes recurring charges are still being charged to my step mom's credit card, so trying to get those turned off. I was hoping there was a quick fix, but I guess there isn't :\
I do not know what Apple will do without the proof of original purchase, but the
AppleCare may help. It is certainly worth pursuing the issue with that proof.
Please post back with how you make out. It may help someone in a similar
situation in the future.
