iPad ID

How do I change the user ID on an iPad? My wife got a new iPad and has given me her old one. I'm new to Apple devices (converted PC user except for my phone) and I need to know how to remove her ID and make it mine.

Thanks for any assistance!

To prepare the old iPad for reuse, the best approach is to follow this procedure:

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


This will wipe the iPad, remove the Activation Lock - and allow you to setup again “as new” from the “Hello” screen. You can create a new AppleID if needed.
