Ipad cant be used - keeps flashing 'enter apple id password' every second

Hi,
I turned on my iPad 3 today and it is unusable.
Every second it flashes up with the following - Sign in to iCloud.
It wants me to enter an old apple ID that has been disabled.
I cant sign in to make the flashing stop, and I can't do anything else as the flashing is continual every second.
I have tried turning the iPad off, resetting by holding home and off button.
I thought I would reset to factory settings and just lose my data but that isn't working either!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi SmithyfromBT,
To be sure an old Apple ID does not keep popping up like that, use the steps in this previous thread to remove it -

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
    You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

    Like lllaass said, bring it back to them. But, never ever, bring an iOS device to anyone for repairs except Apple. That voids your warrenty.

    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. The appointment is free.

    good evening. I rebuilt my aypad. writes enter apple id. password to the post office is not selling what to do

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Why am I being asked to reset my Apple ID Password every day or 2??

    Every day or 2 I am being told my password is invalid and I am receiving e-mails from Apple saying my password has been reset.  It is getting rather annoying have to enter a new password every 2 days!!  Any help???

    Cause you entering incorrect info for login too many times. Perhaps mixup happens cause you use more then one ID and it gets hard to control which password you use for which id. Suggest come up with ONE password and next time you are prompted to do that on another account, use same password. If I am wrong, and you do not have more then one account - may be someone else is using your account or trying to login with incorrect info that they deem to be correct.
