Activation lock on iPad I bought an iPad second hand from someone on Offer Up and the iPad was freshly factory reset so i didnt think anything of it, when i went to set it up under my new account, there was an activation lock. the seller of the iPad isn't responding so im unable to ask them to remove the activation lock. I've tried to look for any Live Apple Support Chat but there's nothing, everything just redirects me to a website telling me to contact the previous owner of the iPad to remove the activation lock. Any help is GREATLY appreciated

No. It's an anti-theft measure.
