Will 'Erase All Content and Settings' remove Apple ID from my iPad 2?

Hi all.
I've read that Erase All brings the iPad back to how it was when it left the shop. But I need to comfirm something 'cos here's the situation:
1. I just sold my mum's iPad to a third party shop. All done, or so I thought.
2. I get a text asking for my Apple password so they can format the iPad.
3. I reply that it's not needed for Reset All/Erase All. (NOTE: No Passcode was set on iPad)
4. I get a text today saying: "But we need to change the app store. Otherwise if any other person buy it they cannot create new account. Maybe you can come and type it. After that we can reset in front of you."
Does the shop really need my password? I was under the impression that Erase All would do a factory reset and clear my Apple ID from the IPad too. Then the next person just sets up their own ID.
By the way, this is not a shop I really trust which is why I'm being so cautious. Also, I don't fancy going all the way there again.
Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long ramble
Andrew

    I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

    If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

  • Is it possible to hide "Erase All Content and Settings" using Apple Configurator?

    How we can hide "Erase All Content and Settings" button from iPod devices using Apple Configurator? we have purchased these devices under enterprise deployment.

    not at all. for the moment we handle this problem by writing an image everytime we (think we) have to update the itunes u content. an update becomes necessary when users give us the iPad back and we recognize that there is good new stuff on it or whenever colleagues tell us to do so.
    With a new rollout of this image we offer new itunes u content on our iPads.

  • Does erase all content and settings remove icloud?

    Hi everyone
    Apologies if this is a stupid question!
    I sold my iphone 5 today and used the erase all content and settings function to wipe the phone. My icloud account was turned off on the phone before this. I just want to make sure i have completely broken the link between my icloud and my old phone. I have logged into my icloud and my old phone is not under the list of devices or in find my iphone. The phone is also not linked to my support profile so does this mean i have completely de registered it?
    Many thanks in advance

    Yes.  Read here: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Will "erase all content and settings" lock my unlocked phone back up?

    I have an unlocked iphone and am about to sell it to a friend, but first I want to erase all of my contacts, pictures, etc... Is it best to use the "erase all content and settings" to get rid of all my personal information without locking my phone back up? Because I don't know how to unlock phones...
    Thanks

    We can't discuss things involving hacked phones. Erase all may or may not relock the phone but the smart person erases all their personal information before selling an electronic device.

  • What happens if a complete erase all content and settings is used

    hi new to ipad what haven if a complete erase all content and settings is used.

    It wipes your iPad back to the original out of the box state.  You'll have a picture of a USB cable and iTunes on the screen and the iPad will have to be set back up in iTunes as a completely new unit.  This is very effective if one is selling their iPad and wants everything wiped off the unit.........

  • I have reset my ipad using General Reset Erase All Content and Settings. And now it will not boot. All i see on screen is the Apple logo. What do i do?

    I have reset my ipad using General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. And now it will not boot. All i see on screen is the Apple logo. What do i do?

    When you restore, you can restore to factory settings or to a backup. Restoring to factory settings removes everything and takes you back to out of the box status and you start all over again. Restoring from your backup will replace all of your app data, bookmarks, email settings and things like that. You still may need to sync all of your purchased apps and music, photos and so on back to the iPad.
    I assume you want to restore from your backup to put all of you data back on the device so connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading and select restore from backup. After you restore from your backup, make sure that you sync all of your other content with iTunes.

    For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?

    If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?
    I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

    Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on.  If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

    EErase the iPad to factory settings

    If you want to sell iPad, make sure you erase all content and settings:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
    This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
    If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.

  • If I 'Erase all content and settings' on my iPod touch will it delete my music?

    So yesterday my email changed so I changed my Apple ID email. I did it and typed the password in and stuff and it was fine. Then, it went really dodgy when I logged out of my old Apple ID and in to my new one. It kept popping up on my screen 'username or password for 'iCloud is incorrect' so I went to check my iCloud things and it wouldn't let me log into my new account. Also, it wouldn't receive iCloud mail that I have and it also won't back up my iPod. That's when I thought of resetting my iPod. But, because my Apple ID is dodgy I'm nervous about it deleting music. I've heard you can log out, reset then log in again but I don't know whether I'll be able to... I want to delete EVERYTHING apart from music.

    As it says, Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings Erases Everything.
    Y can do this to move the music to a computer.

    However, just what did you do? Could you have created a new account vice change the contact email address?
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.
