Hello,


The original owner must remove the iPad from their iCloud account. There is no way around this.

Get your money back. An Activation Locked iPad CANNOT be unlocked by ANYONE other than the person who put the lock on the device. It's highly likely your father has purchased a stolen iPad. Apple will NOT help him. We CANNOT help him.


Here are your options:


  1. Find the original owner (pretty much impossible if you don't know them)
  2. Return the iPad for refund
  3. Recycle the iPad responsibly
  4. Enjoy the iPad as a paperweight or coaster


That's truly it.
