You can't bypass it, only the person whose account it's locked to can potentially help you

You will NEVER be able to use this iPad. EVER. Activation Lock cannot be bypassed without the actual Apple ID and Password used to set it up. If you don't know it, the previous owner doesn't know it, it's a useless device. Apple will NOT help you. We CANNOT help you. So here are your options:


  1. Return it for refund
  2. If you can't get your money back, recycle it responsibly
  3. Enjoy it as a paperweight or coaster
