Hey surendrafromthane,

If I understand correctly, you are being asked for a 6 digit passcode on your iPad. This could happen if you have two-factor authentication enabled. Is the iPad locked and asking for the passcode to unlock the iPad? I would recommend you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.


A verification code is a temporary code sent to your trusted device or phone number when you sign in to a new device or browser with your Apple ID. You can also get a verification code from Settings on your trusted device.

A verification code is different from the device passcode you enter to unlock your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
