is there a way to bypass the activation lock? i have recently bought a storage unit at auction from storage treasures and had gotten an iPad mini out of it. i have no way of contacting the owner due to the faculty's policy not giving out the previous owners information for the protection of the buyer.

iPad mini, iOS 9

The only person who can unlock the iPad is the previous owner. If you can't contact them and have them remove the device from their account, the iPad is useless.
