The original owner has to unlock the iPad. If the previous owner doesn't remember their Apple ID, then you can only try to get your money back. If not, a useless iPad has many practical uses such as a unique serving tray. If they "forgot" their Apple ID, there is also a chance that it is a stolen device.
