Hard resetting an iPad 2 by pressing and holding both the power and home buttons can help if the device is experiencing slow performance or unresponsiveness. This physically resets the iPad without using software. It may take a few minutes for the iPad to restart after a hard reset. Holding both buttons down for 10-15 seconds forces the iPad to power off and then restart, which can improve sluggish performance.
