You cannot. You must recover access to the Apple ID before you can remove Activation Lock.


Start here: link-> If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number - Apple Support

then here: link-> If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Beside the above answer. (great answer)

If this is an Educational ipad your tech department may have your Ipad in their MDM and can access your ipad to unlock your Activation Lock.

If all else fails you will need to call Apple support 800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273) or chat to an Apple specialist online.

If you do this you will need to prove you are the owner of the device.

Good Luck..
