Reactivate ipad

I have an ipad air. I have activate my ipad with an icloud account. After a while, my son changed the password and he forgot the password used. I reset the ipad and when I used the apple id and password i used before, the ipad displays a message "Incorrect Apple ID or Password". I log into appleid.apple.com and changes my password.
When I tried to login with the changed password, I still had the same message displayed. What have I done wrong or what should I do right?

Hi imohdnoo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below, it provides details about the process and instructions on how to change your Apple ID password.
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
If you know the answers to your security questions
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click "Reset your password."
Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
Select "Answer security questions" as your authentication method. Click Next.
Select the birth date associated with your Apple ID, then click Next to begin answering your security questions.
After answering your security questions, you will be asked to enter and confirm your new password. Click Reset Password when done.
If you have access to the email addresses associated with your Apple ID
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click "Reset your password."
Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
Select "Email authentication" as your authentication method. Click Next.
Apple will send a message to the primary email address or verified rescue email address associated with your Apple ID. Open the message and click "Reset Apple ID password".
When the My Apple ID page opens, enter and confirm your new password, then click Reset Password.
If you have two-step verification turned on
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click "Reset your password."
Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
Verify your identity: Enter the Recovery Key you were provided when setting up two-step verification, then choose a trusted device that will receive the verification code from Apple.
After entering the verification code, create your new password and click Reset Password.
If you don't have your Recovery Key or are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the instructions for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.

  • Required to Activate iPad After Rebooting

    Has anyone recently rebooted their iPad, then have a request to enter Apple ID and password to reactivate iPad?   I received the following message prior to the passcode screen:
    "Activate iPad.  This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (my Apple ID abbreviated).  Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad."  Spaces for Apple ID and Password were provided.  Then a link to "Activation Help" was given, which I clicked.  It said:
    "A password is required to activate this device because its owner has used Find My iPhone to link it to their Apple ID.
    If this is your device, enter the Apple ID and password you used to set up iCloud.
    If you were given this device or purchased it second-hand, you will need to contact the original owner to have them remove this device from their account.  Additional information can be found at:  support.apple.com/kb/TS4515."
    I went to this website on my PC . . . no such website exists.
    I sense this is a malware attack to shake me down for money to unlock my device.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I'm planning to go to the local Apple Store this afternoon for advice.
    Thanks.

    The page does exist, it's just that it's now been renamed (that's the original name, Apple have been renaming their troubleshooting and help pages) : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support (my browser redirects me to the new page from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515 ).
    What do you mean by 'rebooted' your iPad ? If you reset it back to factory defaults, or restored to a backup, then you will see the activation lock screen asking for the id and password that you were using in Settings > iCloud on the iPad (and if you had Find My iPad enabled), it's a theft deterrent. If you type in your id and password the iPad should reactivate.

    Doesn't matter what orientation the ipad is in, it won't scroll up from the bottom.
    All other screen functions work normally.

    Settings/Control Center. There are two options which are pretty self-explanitory...one enables/disables access on the Lock Screen and one enables/disables access within apps/games.

  • TS4006 How do i reactivate an iPad Mini that has been disabled

    How do i reactivate an iPad Mini that has been deactivated due to password without iTunes

    You have to restore the iPad using one of the methods in here.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering ...
    You will need to use Find My iPhone in iCloud.com in order to erase your device and unlock it so that you can use it again. See the very end of the article.
    This is copied from the article.
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • How can I reactivate crash reports for iPad?

    Hi, I am not 100% whether to post this question under iTunes or iPad. I will try here first!
    I am testing a new app (through test flight) and I used to send crash reports to the developer after syncing the iPad with my computer.  However, I don't get any crash reports anymore since a couple of weeks! And I am very sure I still get crashes (also from other apps). I read I could reactivate crash reports in iTunes by right clicking on the device and reset warnings for the device. I also tried this in <Preferences> in iTunes. It doesn't help, I can't find any crash report back on my computer and am not asked neither whether I would like to start resending crash reports. I really hope somebody can tell me how I can reactivate the crash reports.
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Same problem here and I can't seem to find anything online on how to auto sync crash reports using iTunes.

  • How can I reactivate my iPad without the original apple-id?

    Hello Community,
    I bought my iPad (3rd gen) two years ago (64GB WiFi Cellular).
    After using it for a year i gave it to the son of a friend for some some month to use.
    When I got it back, it was locked and the boy forgot the code. So we did a reset to factory defaults.
    Now the iPad asks to be activated again with the apple id of the boy.
    The problem is: He has no access to his apple id anymore. He cant remember his apple id, his apple id password nor the password he used for the mail account for the apple-id. He doesn't use them anymore. We tried to reset the apple id, but it didn't work.
    How can i reactivate my deleted iPad without the original apple-id that was used to lock/link/configure it?
    Any help appreciated

    You're in a tough spot.  Activation lock was enabled on your iPad, so without the unknown ID's you won't be able to reactivate the iPad.  You're only option is to take the iPad to an Apple Store Genius Bar and maybe it's possible if you prove you are the original owner of the iPad, they'll help you.  If you can't prove you are the original owner, you're really out of luck.
