I'm having some issues with my old iPad 2 running really slow and freezing up. I think I need to do a hard reset to restore it to factory settings. Can someone walk me through the steps to hard reset an iPad 2?

To hard reset an iPad 2, follow these steps:
-
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button (located at the top of the device) and the Home button simultaneously.
-
Keep holding both buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This may take up to 10 seconds.
-
Once the Apple logo appears, release both buttons and allow the iPad to restart.
Note that a hard reset will not erase any data or settings on your iPad. It simply forces the device to restart, which can be helpful if your iPad is frozen, unresponsive, or experiencing other software-related issues.
If you wish to erase all content and settings on your iPad 2, you can perform a factory reset:
- Go to Settings > General > Reset.
- Tap "Erase All Content and Settings."
- If prompted, enter your passcode or Apple ID password to confirm.
- Your iPad will erase all data and settings, restoring it to its original factory state.
Before performing a factory reset, make sure to back up any important data, as this process will permanently delete all information on the device.
