Changing Apple Account on new iPad

I got a new iPAD. It keeps asking for my husbands Apple ID password. How can I change it to mine?

It may help to know:

  • how you set up the iPad
  • if your husband has ever signed into it with his Apple ID
  • what Apple ID is showing at Settings > [name on top]


If your husband had downloaded any apps on the iPad with his Apple ID, then whenever there is an update for those apps, it will prompt to enter his credentials since he is the owner of those apps. In that case you would need to delete those apps, so the prompt does not appear. You can download them again using your Apple ID.
