Can’t open my iPad forgot iCloud password

I’m texting from my I phone but the problem is with my I pad it’s been off for about a year due to forgot I cloud password. On my phone I recently changed the iCloud password thought it would open my I pad but didn’t so I can’t get my iPad to operate lost iCloud passcode

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Is your Apple ID Disabled? If so, refer to the following....


Visit this Link: If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support.


Why Accounts Become Disabled:

When your iTunes Account has been disabled, and that often happens due to suspicious activity --- Perhaps nothing on your part. They disable it for no more than Security & Privacy concerns.

Possible Reasons Could Include: 

  • Too many unsuccessful login attempts
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network) usage
  • Consistent transactions
  • Session Times Out
  • Disobeying Terms & Conditions


So...

To Re-Enable it:

As you might suspect, no one here would know the reason for this occurrence, of course. So, contact Apple Support. They’ll know why this occurred and will run you right through the fix.

Contact Apple Support:

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due do lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Are you referring to the password to your Apple ID (iCloud) OR are you referring to the passcode that you use to unlock your iPad to get to the Home Screen?


If you are referring to the former, then Click ➔ If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support


If you are referring to the latter then, You will have to reset the passcode to your iPad by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple ➔  If you forgot the passcode or if your iPad has been disabled. You will need a computer to execute this procedure and all the data on your iPad will be erased.
