I am trying to restore my nephew's disabled device in recovery mode, because he did not set the iPad up with iTunes. He did not activate the Find My Phone option, so it appears "recovery mode" is my only option. HOWEVER, I've tried twice and it hasn't given me the option to set up as a new iPad ... HELP!
Hello sjsconce,
Thank you for being part of the Apple Community!
The following articles will be helpful in troubleshooting your issue of restoring the iPad. I can certainly understand wanting to get that iPad working again.
If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled
If you can‘t update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Have a great day!
