Reset iPad to new Apple ID without details of old Apple ID on it

My mothers Apple ID on her iPad is locked and she has lost all details regarding recovery email I’d, phone and security questions

How do I help her reset her iPad to a new ID without details for the old I’d as above

If she is the original owner, have her contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID  if provided the required paperwork to include the original purchase receipt with the serial number on it. 


Request additional support for unlocking your device.    -


You used to be able to take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened) and have them remove the ID. This may have changed, so call the store before going to make sure they can help.
