how to change code on new ipad

I transferred my data from my old ipad to my new ipad. I followed the instructions and I entered my old code to open it up as the same, but now my new ipad won't accept the code. How do I change it?

iPad, iPadOS 13

When you set up any new iOS device, you get the Hello Page, then connect to Wifi, then set up either TouchID and Passcode or FaceID and Passcode. You must have entered a passcode to move on to transferring data from an iCloud backup?


If you don't remember what you set it to during the initial setup, you'll need to erase the iPad using your home computer with iTunes and start over. See this link --> If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support
