locked iPad

Now you recycle the device or use it as a paperweight or get your money back. You cannot bypass Activation Lock. Apple WON'T Help you and we CAN'T help you. You purchased a useless device unless you know and can reach the previous owner.

NEVER purchase any iOS based device unless you have validated in person Activation Lock has been removed.

You cannot do anything unless you have the old owner unlock the iPad. Not even the apple store can unlock your iPad.

-Hope this helps!
