Apple has released a new build of iOS 9.3 for older iPhones and iPads, fixing activation issues encountered by some users when updating.
When updating to iOS 9.3 on older devices, users were asked to enter their Apple ID and password. However, if the user didn't remember their password the device became stuck in an inactivated state.

iOS 9.3 was released just a few days ago and there are bugs; they seriously need to hire testers.

They did several betas of iOS 9.3 prior to release. They had thousands of testers using the betas so what you said already happened.
