You don't.

This iPad is a dead, useless device to you.

We cannot help you and Apple will not help you either since you are not this iPad’s original owner.

Activation Lock is a anti-theft, personal data protection feature that cannot be defeated without the help of the iPad’s original owner.

Get you money back for this device, if you can.
