Accidently setup guided access, and force restart stats into the same app locked (I e, restarts into guided access again). How can I edit guided access?
As mentioned in the question, force restart didn't work, it starts back into guided access

Update: I let the iPad run out of battery, and then plugging it in it started normal without guided access.
When you are stuck in Guided Access mode, you can be really stuck as the typical triple tap on the home button to quit out of Guided Access may not work. Even a forced exit won't work because the power button and the home button are disabled.
Devices with a physical Home Button
The only way to get out of Guided Access is to press the Home and Power button together for 15 seconds. This should turn off Guided Access by forcibly rebooting your device. Once your device is restarted, you can then go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access > Guided Access - and turn off Guided Access if needed.

Devices without a physical Home Button
For iPad’s without a physical Home button, you’ll need to follow a different button sequence…
I have used the methods you indicated. When the apple logo appears and the device restarts it goes directly to guided access and locks the device again.
I haven't found a method yet that restarts the device and guided access is not back on.
The OP's method of letting it run out of battery is the only way I was successful
Indeed, a forced-restart won't work. Try reading my reply again 🙂
