Does your iPad continually ask you to sign into your iCloud account?
It's always annoying when our technology doesn't act how we want it to act, especially when we are giving it the information it requests and it seems to just ignore our input. Unfortunately, the iPad can sometimes get stuck thinking it needs the iCloud password even when it doesn't.

| How to Fix an iPad Constantly Asking You to Sign Into iCloud |
How to Deal With Repeated Requests to Sign Into iCloud:
First, try rebooting the iPad.
This simple task can solve most problems, but you must make sure you are
actually powering the iPad down. When you simply tap the Sleep/Wake button at
the top, the iPad is only suspended. You can power the iPad down by
holding the Sleep/Wake button down until you are prompted to slide a button
across the screen to power it down.
After
you use your finger to slide the button, the iPad will shut down. Leave it off
for a few seconds before powering it back on by holding the Suspend/Wake button
until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If rebooting
the iPad doesn't work, you can try signing out of iCloud and signing
back into the service.
This will reset
iCloud's authentication with Apple's servers.
· First, launch the
Settings app, which is the app that looks like gears turning.
· Scroll down the menu
on the left side until you locate iCloud. Tapping iCloud will bring up
the iCloud settings.
· At the bottom of the
iCloud settings is the option to Sign Out. Tapping this will prompt you
to verify your choice.
· Before signing out,
the iPad will ask if you want to keep the information on your iPad or delete
it. You should choose to keep the information on your iPad at this time.
· If you have Find My
iPad enabled, you will be asked to type in your password to turn if off.
· It may take a few
seconds to sign out of iCloud. When it is finished, the iCloud settings will
revert to a sign in.
· Sign in to iCloud.
This should correct the issue, but if you are still prompted to sign in
to iCloud repeatedly, you can go through these steps again and elect to Delete
the information from the iPad rather than keep it. Don't worry, the
information is still stored in the cloud and should be restored when your sign
back into iCloud.
