I have an Activation Lock on my IPAD and I cannot remember my Apple ID or Password, so what do I do just for the IPAD without impacting my IPHONE?

You are going to need the Apple ID and Password to remove the Activation Lock.

Click ➔ If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Click ➔ If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

See if the above links help to retrieve your Apple ID and/or Password.


If noting works and you have the proof of purchase then you can attempt to contact  ➔ Apple Support and see whether they can help you.
