I bought my elderly father an IPad. He is now deceased and I would like to reset the device so my grandson can use it. I have no idea what the passcode is and have tried everything I can think of. How can I reset it?
iPad (9th generation)
Take a look here:

If it asks for an Apple ID and password, then it was set up with Find My and is in Activation Lock. You'll need to request access to his Apple Account:

Then log into his account and remove the iPad as a managed device.
