Verification Code isn't working

Hi!

Just found my old and locked iPad.

Did a hard reset with iTunes, and now it is working but I had no clue what was my apple ID.

So, I've opened a new apple ID and assigned the iPad as a new one.

Now, when I try to sign in with my new apple ID, it says "Type your password followed by the verification code..." which I did received as SMS to my cell phone.

When I enter the apple ID password again from start, and then in the same field right after the password, I'm typing the verification code, it just shows a message says that the password is wrong!

I reviewed old posts about similar issues but nothing seems to get it done.

Any suggestions on how to sign in to my new apple ID account on my 1st generation iPad??

Thanks!!

Thanks.

I've added another trusted device...then when I tried to sign in I received verification code to my newly added device.

when I typed the apple ID password followed by verification code it finally moved on to the next page, which I agreed to terms of use.

Just to hit an "error connecting to server" message.

Tough one.

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.

Try a restart.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch *

Try a forced restart.

Reset Device. *

If necessary

Hard reset. -

Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.

Restore to Factory setting. *

Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup. *

Yeah the code that you receive per SMS is another code then the code you'll need now, Now you will need a code to enter instead of your password, because the first gen iPad does not support 2 factor authentication. The code that you'll receive per SMS Is a code to enter after you logged in with your Apple ID and verification code.

You'll need another trusted device to get access to this code

2 factor verification is on on this Apple ID. Try and go on your iPhone to settings>your name>password and security and tick receive verification code. Try and to use that code to login to your iPad
