Unable to restore iPad Pro after iPadOS 26 update

I installed Tahoe on my iPad Pro second edition. Everything went fine. After setting it to fabric condition and installing my normal password I restart the iPad. When I want to log in the system said wrong password.

I tried to reset the iPad through the normal procedure (pc and mac with working usb cable) I couldn't make a connection. When I try it with a normal iPad (10e generation) with iPad os 18.6.2 the connection is established.

I there a bug? Or do I something wrong

Finale got it working. The usb cable I used works great with normal iPads (10 gen), but not with the iPad Pro (2 gen) I bought a usb-c 3.2 (gen 2) cable and connect it to Mac Mini M4. Update it 2 times and did a restore. Finally it works. Y E A H !!!!!!
