Q: have to re-enter password repeatedly on iPad mini

Apr 16, 2015 1:41 PMby MamaTracey,thank you for asking me to clarify that, zmclearan. I would like if you could explain to me why you think it might be doing that.
I just backed it up last night ; it had started asking me to do that over and over and I thought if I backed it up and upgraded to latest version it would stop it.
I don't even know how I managed to get through the processes of those 2 things. I can't open or use anything on the ipad as it just wants me to "sign in to the icloud"
as it is not something I am used to doing, refresh my memory.......it would be the same password, right? for the icloud and/or the itunes store....?

It had happen to me a few months ago. This would be your email and password that you would use to sign into iCloud and the App Store (your Apple ID).

Apr 16, 2015 2:24 PMby MamaTracey,I could not do that because as I stated ( I think I did )...the ipad would not allow me to do ANYTHING ; it wanted that password first but when I put it in, it just stayed asking for password. In other words it won't go to settings or any other page.
so here I sit with my PC, and now I have changed my password to see if that will somehow help. I cannot test it on the ipad until I get to where I can access wifi.
I hate Apple ! I really just do. I will try to let you know tomorrow and I do appreciate your help.

If Find my iPad is enabled then you will need to put the device in recover mode:

and then if you need assistance restoring the device then follow this guide:
