Erase iPad: Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on

Apple Pay (on page) .

remove all of your personal data and turn off Find My iPad. This ensures that the
next owner can activate and use the device normally. Go to Settings > General >
Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. See Sell or give away iPad (on page) .
