How to Unlock an iPad That Is iCloud Locked

If you are stuck at the activation lock page when you set up your iPad, you need to enter your Apple ID password or device password to move forward. While if you have none of the information, the situation will become a bit complicated. You will need an iCloud activation unlocker to help you bypass it and gain access to your iPad.

iCloud Lock, also known as Activation Lock, is an extra layer of security Apple adds to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac in Find My. It enhances the security of your privacy, while at the same time, it may cause trouble if you forget the credentials required for this feature. (If you buy a second-hand iPhone without knowing its Apple ID password, refer to How to Remove Activation Lock Without Previous Owner to unlock iCloud lock.)

If you erase a lost iPad or set it as Lost Mode and find it back sometime later, the Activation Lock page will appear when you set up the iPad. Or you buy a second-hand iPad that is not well set up after the previous owner erases it. To finish the setup process, you will need to fill in the Apple ID password or device passcode. While if you forgot the password or didn't have the password, it is not easy for you to unlock this iCloud locked iPad.

Without any credentials requested here, you must resort to a third-party tool to help unlock this iPad. If you are a repairman who wants to learn how to unlock iCloud locked iPhone or iPad, you can learn this way as well to address the toughest issue you may have. We will introduce how to unlock iCloud locked iPad or iPhone in three different ways, based on the situations you may encounter.
