videos there's gonna be links to all the
information that I talked about in this
video down below in the description
alright let's get right to the video now
alright this is gonna work with all the
new iPads and I'm going to show you how
to completely reset it back to its
factory condition I'm gonna show you two
methods of doing it first I will show
you through the settings and then I'll
show you how to do it with the buttons
so in case you have a password and you
can't get into your iPad you'll still be
able to do a complete factory reset
erase everything on your iPad back to
its factory condition so you can set it
up and start using it normally again
alright so first off let's go through
the settings so we'll go into settings
here in settings we will go to general
over here on the left hand column and
then on general settings it's gonna be
towards the bottom it's gonna say reset
right here and then we're gonna have
this option right here that says erase
all content and settings so that's the
option we're gonna choose if you have a
password and you can get into it you
will enter your password and here it's
gonna give you a confirmation message to
erase the iPad once you select that the
reset process will begin and everything
on your iPad will be erased back to
factory condition so make sure that you
do backup your iPad if there's anything
on here that you want to keep alright
let's go ahead and show you now how
we're going to do the hard reset method
so for example let's say you have a
password on your iPad and you don't know
it you can't get into it alright so
first thing we're gonna need is a either
PC or Mac with iTunes installed and
these are the steps that we're gonna
take to reset it so let's say you don't
know your password your iPad may even be
disabled like this no problem this will
still completely reset it even if it's
disabled so what we're going to
we're going to connect it first so let's
connect it to the computer or my hey
make sure you have the latest version of
iTunes open so download the latest
version of iTunes make sure you update
it to the latest one and then once you
have it connected what we're gonna do is
we're gonna press volume up volume down
and we're gonna press and hold the power
button until the screen completely
blacks out once the screen blacks out
we're gonna continue holding the power
button but we're gonna press and hold
volume down for 10 seconds then we're
gonna quickly let go and press them both
again until it goes into its restore
mode alright so let's go ahead and do it
now volume up volume down power button
continue to hold the volume button until
it blacks out once it does quickly press
the volume down and hold it as well
there you go ten seconds eight seven six
five four three two one let go press
them both again and continue to hold
them both power button and volume down
continue to hold them and once you see
this connect to itunes screen you can
let go of all the buttons it is now in I
I pad restore mode so now we're ready to
go we can go ahead and just place the
iPad down okay so we're gonna get this
message right here which says there's a
problem with your iPad that requires it
to be either updated or restored so
let's just go ahead and select update
your iPad can't be updated you will need
to restore it perfect so here just see
if you get this message just go ahead
and hit update and it's gonna give you
these confirmation messages here that
you need to download the new update
today so here just go ahead and select
agree and it will take a few minutes to
download the new software so this is
gonna take some time here it says four
minutes depending on your internet
connection it may take longer if it
takes longer than 10 minutes most likely
your iPad will get out of restore mode
so you will have to follow that process
again to get it into the restore mode
but for this step we have to wait till
we finish downloading the software
update and then once the software update
is complete the reset process will
automatically begin if not if your iPad
gets out of restore mode like I said go
ahead and put it again in a restore mode
and since your software update will be
downloaded it will continue with the
reset process all right so since my
software update download pretty
quickly in about three to four minutes
the reset process continued on its own
so now it's at the next step which is
extracting software so now we just gotta
wait until all the bars load it's gonna
do this a few times it's gonna do a
couple different steps and once they
load completely the reset process will
be done so let's wait it should take a
few minutes probably about five minutes
for it to completely extract and reload
the new software into the iPad alright
so once you see this white screen come
up that means that the reset process was
done so it also should say this on your
iTunes welcome to your new iPad alright
so once you see that we can go ahead and
disconnect it you don't need that no
more and then now all we got to do is
simply swipe up and we're gonna go ahead
and get the iPad set up just set your
language country connect to Wi-Fi and
your iPad has been completely factory
reset back to its factory condition so
that is how you hard reset also known as
a factory reset your Apple iPad pro so
go ahead and like this video if it
helped you out it really helps me out
and that's it for this video I'll see
you in the next one and as always peace
