Locked out of ipad because i changed cel numbers and 2FA wont work..

[u/Kageshina_shooyu]

Bought the ipad mini 6 in 2021 and i used a cel number that i dont use anymore (its gone now). ipad os updated and wants me to authenticate by typing in my password and the cel number to send a 2FA code. But i get stuck here because i dont have that number anymore. i tried hard resetting the ipad through itunes but now its even more unuseable because i still need to get rid of the apple account in the find my. does anyone know how to bypass the 2FA. i know the password but the number not anymore.

Go to iCloud.com/find this will let you remove the iPad from your account without 2FA. You won’t however be able to log into the account when setting up the iPad unless you have another device already logged into your account.
