Is there any other way to set-up my old ipad? I have restored the ipad as I am unable to remember the passcode. I was able to set-up the ipad up to the activation lock but unfortunately, I also do not remember the password that was used to set-up the ipad.
The ipad is still linked into my find my iphone app.
Any advise?
