New iPad asks for passcode.

[iMore Question]

As a brand new iPad it doesn't have a passcode. How do I get around this so I can sync with old iPad

Welcome to iMore.

It is obviously not a new iPad if it is asking for a passcode. Here is a guide by Apple on how to reset the passcode. But you will still require your Apple ID & password after. And agaian that would be another indication that it was not new. My best suggestion would be to return it to wherever you bought it as I am positive it is not new if it is asking for a passcode upon the initial setup. Are sure it wasn't asking you to setup a passcode? Thanks!

Contact wherever you bought it from and get them to solve this issue. New iPads don't come passcode locked. That's up to the user to set one

Agreed. It may have been asking you to set up a passcode of your own.
