Hello behruz,


I am not completely clear what you mean by "set Apple ID". If you mean sign in on the iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap Sign in to your [device].

3. Enter your Apple ID and password.

4. If prompted, enter the six-digit verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number and complete sign in.


Since the iPad 1 will be running an old operating system version, read this next document for instructions on how to do step 4 above:


Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?


"If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field."
