What is how to factory reset ipad with buttons?

You can't directly perform a factory reset on an iPad solely using physical buttons. The buttons are used in conjunction with a connected computer, especially if the iPad is unresponsive or locked.

Here's the general process, which involves using recovery mode, which is accessed using buttons:

1. Determine your iPad model: This is crucial because the button combination differs based on your iPad model. You can find this information on the back of your iPad or in your Apple ID settings.

2. Enter Recovery Mode: This step uses the buttons, but requires a computer. The button presses differ by iPad model. Refer to Apple's official support page for instructions specific to your iPad.

3. Connect to a computer: You will need a computer with the latest version of iTunes (on Windows) or Finder (on macOS).

4. Restore or Update: Once in recovery mode, your computer will recognize your iPad and give you the option to "Restore" or "Update."

   • Update: Attempts to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. This should be your first attempt.

   • Restore: This is the factory reset. This will erase all data on your iPad. Choose this only as a last resort. Click restore and a pop up window should come up asking you to restore to factory settings.

5. Follow On-Screen Instructions: Follow the prompts on your computer screen to complete the restore process.

Because of the need for a computer, this process is not a true "factory reset with buttons" although it uses the buttons to get the iPad into a state where the reset can be initiated via computer. Please consult Apple's support pages for the most up-to-date and accurate information as procedures may change with new iOS updates.
