Q: How do I change the apple ID and password on an iPad?

I need to separate my grandson's apple ID and password from his dad's on a new iPad air. I started the setup inputting his dad's apple ID and password but quickly realized that they won't want to share apps on their devices.  I understand how to change the password, but I need to change the Apple ID as well. How do I do that?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    First you need a valid functional e-mail address (not used for any Apple ID)

    Create an Apple ID here below after you have a valid e-mail address:

    https://appleid.apple.com

     

    If the iPad already has an Apple ID, you need to sign out before you can put in the new Apple ID .

    Best you restore to factory settings for the new Apple ID & password using the option in iPad below:

    Settings > General > Reset > Erase Content & Settings.
