[QUOTE="agwilliams, post: 1720380, member: 331046"] Thanks for your help so far. I've done a lot of digging around following the links you suggest, using my iMac, and have also unearthed some info from when I got this iPad. I did set up iCloud at the time, although I don't use it. My ISP went belly-up not long afterwards, so the old email address I used to set it up is unavailable - I can't access any messages sent to it. So I can't follow the usual route for ID verification in order to access or change the password. I do have access to iCloud using my new ID, but that doesn't seem to help as that is a separate account to my old one. I linked the iPad and iMac via iTunes and followed the Restore procedure, but after that was over and I started going through the Setup procedure, I got as far as choosing the language and network but was then faced with a message: "This device is linked to an Apple ID" (with my old email address) – and a demand for the password. Whatever I try to do with the iPad it keeps demanding my old ID and password. How can I get around this? [/QUOTE]
