I'm sorry to hear that your password has been changed on your iPad. If you suspect unauthorized access to your device or an account linked to it, here are some steps you can take to address the issue:
Try the Current Password: Make sure you haven't mistakenly entered the wrong password. Check if you've recently changed it and might have forgotten the new one.
Reset Your Password: If you are unable to remember your password or if you're certain it has been changed without your permission, you can reset your iPad's password. Here's how to do it:
a. Use iCloud: If you have enabled Find My iPhone/iPad and have an iCloud account linked to your device, you can use the "Forgot Apple ID or Password" feature on the lock screen to reset your Apple ID password. This should unlock your iPad.
b. Recovery Mode: If you can't use iCloud or don't have an Apple ID associated with your iPad, you may need to put your iPad into Recovery Mode and restore it using iTunes or Finder on a computer. This will erase all data on the device, so make sure you have a backup if possible.
Change Other Passwords: If you suspect that someone else changed your iPad's password, it's a good idea to change the passwords for your Apple ID and any other accounts linked to your iPad to ensure your security.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): After regaining access to your iPad, consider enabling two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and any other important accounts. This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Remember to create a strong and unique password for your iPad and other online accounts to help prevent unauthorized access in the future. Also, be cautious about sharing your password and keep your device secure to minimize the risk of such incidents.
