    Hi All,

    If your iPad bricks (too many bad log ins, etc.), is there
    a way to wipe and reinstall? Or is the iPad now just
    useless trash?

    You'll need to plug it into a computer (any Mac, or a Windows PC with
    iTunes installed), erase the iPad to reset it from Recovery mode. If
    you have a backup either on the computer or via iCloud, then you can
    restore your data, otherwise your data will be gone.

    If you forgot your iPad passcode
    Forgot your iPad passcode? Learn how to get your iPad into
    recovery mode so you can erase it and set it up again.

    You can also take it to an Apple Store or authorised Apple repair shop
    for them to reset it for you, but you'll need to be able to prove it is
    your iPad.

    After resetting it, use a passcode you can remember (or at least write
    it down somewhere safe).

    The ipad was carefully designed to fail in order to extract more cash from clueless
    customers.

    I know that Chrome Books have a magic wipe and reinstall.
    I was wondering if iPads did too.
