Consider the following situations:

• You forgot your passcode, and now you are locked out of your iPad
• You handed down an iPad, but it’s still linked to the old account
• You’re experiencing performance issues with your iPad and want to clear everything
• You need to sell your iPad

All these cases have one thing in common; the only fix is resetting the Ipad. That sounds easy until you’re prompted to enter your Apple ID (iCloud account) and password to continue. It sounds like you are stuck without the password.

However, that’s not the case. In this article, we’ll discuss alternative methods you can use to reset your iPad without needing Apple ID.

5 Ways to Reset Your iPad Without Apple ID

If you can’t remember your Apple ID password, then try these five methods that won’t ask you for the password.

Method 1. Reset iPad Without Apple ID Using iTunes

For a long time, iTunes has been the go-to tool for most iOS users, so it’s no surprise it’s the first solution on our list. Its ability to perform almost every action related to iOS devices makes it one of the best tools in cases like this.

One unique feature of iTunes that we’ll take advantage of is its ability to install a complete version of iOS. During the installation, iTunes will clear all the data and settings on your iPad, taking it back to factory settings.

However, this method will only work if you boot your iPad into recovery mode.

If ready, follow the steps below to reset your iPad using iTunes.

Step 1: On your computer, launch iTunes. If on a Mac, launch Finder.

iPads with Face ID: Press the volume up button, then release, then press volume down, then release, then press and hold the top button until you see the recovery mode screen.

iPads with Home Button: Long press the power and home buttons until the recovery mode screen appears.

Step 4: When your iPad enters recovery mode, iTunes will ask if you want to update or restore your iPad. Hit Restore to start the factory reset process.
