Activation lock

I have a new iPad second hand!

When I trying to update it by iTunes the activation lock screen appears!

I got it online, by the market place and I can not find the owner!

I have proof of purchase and I have a support case number  101372111012

Only the previous owner can help. Try get your money back.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.

Without the owner's authorisation (Apple ID & password), no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
