Have updated to iPad OS and when trying to connect to WiFi it asks for my WiFi Password, however will not accept it when type it in and hit 'Join'. Have tried several Wifi routers (home, work, iPhone Hotspot) and have the same issue.
Also, this prevents me from signing into my iCloud on my iPad (which should automatically populate and accept the WiFi password across all devices) since I can't connect to internet.
I found that if you start the iPad in Recovery mode the PC/Mac does see the iPad okay.
But if I was to connect it iTunes before that it would say "itunes could not connect to the ipad because an error occured while reading the device, stop and start the iTunes and reconnect"
That was on a PC, when I tried from a Mac I saw why it failed, as in on the Mac it was saying if I want to allow access to the computer, it tells me to respond to what's one the iPad, but nothing comes up on the ipad.
So connect the iPad to your PC/Mac, then, press and hold the Home and Power buttons at the same time. Keep holding the buttons after you see the Apple logo, until you see the iTunes logo on the iPad screen.
Then you will get a prompt on the PC/Mac.
Good Luck

Is your iPad functioning otherwise all okay?
I have a similar issue, but at the same time anything that requires me inputting a passowrd fails.
any App I try and run, just crashes out
the iPad locks out as if it doesn't have the resources to function.
I've seen other posts where people have had to do a full rest/wipe of the device to get it working again.
I am having exactly the same problems. I have tried to reset the network setting and done a full reset of all settings but still cannot connect to wifi via my router - although I can connect via an unprotected network provided by my BT (my Internet provider) - nor can I connect to iCloud account. Might have to try wiping the device.
I have the same problem. Additionally my Apple ID is not being accepted. My iPad Air2 has become effectively useless since the update.
Yes, me too but I cannot do a full rest/wipe because my iPad is not recognized by iTunes. The iPad is essentially useless.
Divefrosty,
Thank you very much. I never knew iPad had a recovery mode as does Mac. This seems to work so far as I am now re-downloading my apps. You saved me!!!!
Thank you for your help. I have just finished talking with Apple Support who talked me through the recovery mode - I too was unaware of this. All up and running now.
