Hi All
Genuine question here (Check my trust), I've been given my brother iPad mini to pass to my daughter to use as he no longer uses it, now he knows his iCloud password but he can't remember the 4 digit code at the "Erase All Content and setting" screen, can he log into iCloud and do "find my iPhone" then hit "Erase this iPhone" and it will put it back to factory settings, or does it lock the iPad after that?
He's knows the 4 digit code to get into the device but looks like he changed the Erase code to something totally different
Hoping this is the fix and he doesn't have to go down the Apple route of showing proof the device is his as he got it new but 6 years ago
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: I ended up doing the remote erase logged back in under her Apple ID and set it back up again under my Apple ID, so all sorted now...
