iPad Activation Lock Removal

Every generation of iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro is covered. The lock comes off at Apple's end rather than on the tablet, so it does not return, and the money-back guarantee stands behind it.

Common Scenarios

Where these iPads come from

Education & Institutions

Schools and universities clear out old fleets, and those tablets are still signed in to an administrator's Apple ID.

Family Devices

A tablet handed down the family, with nobody left who can get into the Apple ID on it.

Second-Hand Purchases

A private seller who forgot to sign out of iCloud, leaving the buyer holding a tablet that will not finish setup.


FAQ

iPad iCloud Unlock — FAQ

Does this cover Wi-Fi-only iPads?
It does. A Wi-Fi-only tablet has no IMEI, so it goes by serial number instead. Put the serial into the form and we will tell you whether it can be done.
How long will an iPad take?
A standard iPad is normally sorted inside one to five business days, and an email goes out the moment it is.
Do all iPads cost the same?
No. What you pay depends on the model and on the state the tablet is in. Send the exact IMEI or serial and you get the exact figure.
What if Find My is switched on?
Find My being on is what puts Activation Lock there in the first place, and Activation Lock is the thing we remove. There is no need to turn anything off beforehand.
What can I do with it afterwards?
Anything you like: sign in with a new Apple ID, pull a backup down, or start it clean. iPadOS, the App Store and iCloud all behave exactly as they would on a tablet bought new.

Shall we look at your iPad?

Send the IMEI or serial number and a price comes straight back. Nothing is owed until you say so.
