I got second hand ipad and it is still linked to another Apple ID.

Is there a way to erase if you don't know the person who's id is still linked?

You will need to contact the person that previously owned it for them to remove the Activation Lock. If you cannot contact them, try to return it for a refund. The device is useless to you unless the other person removes the lock. There is nothing you can do to try and bypass Activation Lock.
