Finally, a factory reset erases everything on your iPad, returning it to its original state.
Before you begin, ensure sure your iPad is fully charged. If it runs out of juice while you’re restarting, this might all take longer.
So, let’s get down to work and go over each method for resetting an iPad.
How to reset the iPad: Soft reset
These methods should resolve any slowdowns you’re experiencing. If anything isn’t working properly on your iPad, you may do a more extreme reset.
- Press and hold the power/lock button.
- When the “slide to power off” button shows on the screen, swipe it to the right.
- After the iPad has been turned off, press and hold the power/lock button once again until the Apple logo displays.
How to reset an iPad: Force restart
There are two ways to forcibly restart an iPad, which you should do if it isn’t operating at all.
Most iPads feature home buttons at the bottom of the screen and will employ the first method: simultaneously press the power and home keys until the iPad shuts off.
The iPad should restart automatically. If it does not, press the power button again.
If your iPad lacks a home button — as my favourite, the 2018 iPad Pro, does — you have another option for doing a hard reset. If it’s not working properly for you at first, you’ll want to execute steps 1 and 2 as soon as possible.
- Press and hold the volume up button.
- Press and hold the volume down button.
- Continue to hold the lock/power button down until the slide to power off screen shows.
- Slide the iPad off the table. Wait for your iPad to shut down.
- Press and hold the power button until it turns on.
