Unless you know the Apple Id and password its expecting no, there is no way to bypass it.


If you have bveen using this iPad, it would stand to reason it should have your own Apple ID on it, and not the last owner's, unless you started using it without verifying if the previous owner correctly signed out of their Apple Id and wiped it clean and thehn you sset it up from scratch and signed in with your own Apple ID to iCloud.


If you don't know what Apple Id its expecting, then, there is no way to bypass it. Activation Lock is an anti theft mechanism and apple made so it cannot be bypassed.
