restoring old ipad

I recently rediscovered my old ipad 2 from 2011 and what to use it. The passcode has long been forgotten so, I started the process to restore it. I can't seem to get pass the activation lock that asks for both my apple id and password. I changed my apple ID password to try to simplify possible problems but still no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.
