Hi my iPad is stuck on guided access. It won’t work if I click the power button three times. I’ve tried turning it off but it won’t do anything. What do I ?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
I’ve tried that. That isn’t working either

When you are stuck in Guided Access mode, you are really stuck as the typical triple tap on the home button to quit out of Guided Access doesn't work. Even a forced exit won't work because the power button and the home button are disabled.
The only way to get out of Guided Access is to press the Home and Power button together for 15 seconds. This should turn off Guided Access by forcibly rebooting your device. Once your device is restarted, you can then go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access > Guided Access - and turn off Guided Access if needed.
Use Guided Access on iPad - Apple Support
Use Guided Access with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Force-restart your iPad:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
