The only way to get past Activation Lock is to know the Apple ID and Password that were used to set up the iPad. Does your mom not know her own Apple ID and Password?


Use these two links if she doesn't know them:


If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support


If this doesn't work, Apple may be willing to help you IF and only IF you have the original purchase receipt, proving she is the original buyer of the iPad. Apple will not help without valid proof of purchase and we can't help either.
