    Note: This feature resets all settings to their defaults and erases all data stored on iPad, including your Contacts, Messages, and Music. iPad cannot be used while data is being erased. iPad 3GS and later will instantly and securely erase all data, and then restore settings to their factory defaults. After iPad reboots, it will display the "Connect to iTunes" screen. If you have backed up your device to iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore personal data back to iPad, if desired. Wi-Fi or a wireless data connection is required to re-activate iPad after a reset. Learn more from Apple support articles: Back up your iPad and Erase all content and settings on your iPad.
