During setup of this iPad there was a setup error and now when logging in it asks for a password which is fine but it will not let you enter the password the keyboard is frozen and if you turn the volume up it sounds like an auctioneer. It seems stuck in a loop? How do I correct this? I tried rebooting the iPad and I have the same problem. I powered down completely and restarted with the same results.

iPad (6th generation)

Perform a forced-restart of your iPad:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
Press and hold the top button; do not release the top button until...
When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. Do not release either button until...
When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
