  2. Sign Out of iCloud: Open the "Settings" app on your iPad. At the top left, you'll see your name or Apple ID; tap on it. Scroll down and tap "Sign Out." Enter your Apple ID password when prompted. Choose to erase your data entirely from the device.
  3. Erase All Content and Settings: After signing out of iCloud, go back to the main "Settings" screen. Scroll down and tap "General." Scroll to the bottom and select "Reset." Tap "Erase All Content and Settings." Confirm your choice, and the iPad will reset to factory settings.
