i have an old ipad that belonged to my mom, i cannot connect to Apple ID because “verification failed”. I’m trying to do a factory reset on it because it’s mine now and i wanna get it working again, but i have to enter a “restrictions passcode” that no one remembers.

i’m currently trying to restore it by hooking it up to a mac but it just keeps flashing the battery charging symbol and saying “trust this device”. the message quickly goes away and comes back, and i cannot click “yes”.

    Log into iCloud.com with the account that was on that iPad. Go to find my and remove the device from the account. Put the device in DFU mode(google the procedure for that model). Hook it up to your Mac and restore it from finder
