If you have forgotten your AppleID or associated password, these can be recovered here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

• Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
• Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
• Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID

Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

Use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you’re the iPad’s original owner, supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove the lock.
