Only if you have the original Apple receipt.

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

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

Assuming that you have forgotten the AppleID that you used to previously activate the iPad, then you should be able to recover your AppleID and associated password here:

If the AppleID belongs to somebody else, then you’ll need to secure their cooperation in releasing the lock associated with their AppleID account.
