I got an iPad from a friend of mine and it was 284 weeks past update so I restored it and I can’t get around the activation lock because he doesn’t know the email and password used for it.

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