If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and demand a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

No.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock. Apple will not get involved.
That device is useless.
Recycle it or turn it over to the police.
Because it might have been stolen before it got to Goodwill, and not all crimes are reported. Ask Goodwill for a refund.
