So it’s activation locked? If yes, we cannot help you

[scenic socket]

Passcode locked

Restoring using recovery mode will work

[naive abyss]

i dont know but it when you lock your ipad and try to unlock it

[scenic socket]

Yes that will iCloud lock it though

[naive abyss]

it doesnt matter

[scenic socket]

Also will update it to latest iOS

[naive abyss]

but the only issue is it should not update to latest ios

[nimble mountain]

If you erase it, will be locked, if you know apple id and password you can erase data

[scenic socket]

Out of luck then ig

[naive abyss]

is there a way to not update i dont care what methods you recommend

[nimble mountain]

You can bypass ist I believe

[scenic socket]

Impossible

[scenic socket]

No

[nimble mountain]

Is it forced during setup?

[scenic socket]

Unless the version you are currently on is signed

[naive abyss]

is it possible to update to latest os then get back to below ios 16 somehow?

[scenic socket]

During installation the phone checks if the signature used in the ipsw is valid

[scenic socket]

No unless iPad 7

[nimble mountain]

Yes if you flash, but you can just erase

[scenic socket]

Even then it will be tethered

[scenic socket]

You need to access settings to do that

Which needs the passcode

[naive abyss]

wait wait

when you erase you get back to starter menu, what if you dont set a password in the starter

[nimble mountain]

No, go recovery mode, erase device trough the you shall not say the name tool

[scenic socket]

You set a passcode in setup?

Then just use that passcode

[naive abyss]

does it automatically use other icloud devices password

[naive abyss]

no

[nimble mountain]

Then unlock with Apple ID

[scenic socket]

It won't work

[nimble mountain]

Offline setup

[naive abyss]

1

[scenic socket]

What does that mean?

[naive abyss]

i didnt set a password in setup, what password would it use?

[nimble mountain]

Just don’t give it internet

[scenic socket]

For iCloud? Yes

Passcode? No

[scenic socket]

That's not how it works

[naive abyss]

wait it uses the icloud password if i didnt set a password?

@scenic socket

because i fogot to set a password in startup

[scenic socket]

If you didn't set a passcode it doesn't set any passcode

[naive abyss]

so now it ask for a password what password would that be

[scenic socket]

Can you screenshot whatever you are getting?

[nimble mountain]

@naive abyss you are kinda confusing me. Can you please show us

[naive abyss]

yes wait

[nimble mountain]

Same idea lol

[naive abyss]

so i didnt set a password in startup but now it asking for a password

i tried my mac which is on the same ic password and my phones password but it didnt work

[scenic socket]

You must've set one

[nimble mountain]

Yea

[scenic socket]

Simply impossible for it to randomly decide you did

[naive abyss]

ok if i did set a password but it impossible i entered my mac password wrong twice and they are the exact same and seted it, but i think im out of options then

why doesnt it have the fogotten password button?
