You're out of luck and out of money.

That iPad is activation locked.

Without the help of the original owner who sold you this iPad, there is absolutely NO WAY of getting that iPad to work for you.

No one here can help you and Apple will not be able to help you, either.

That iPad is a dead, electronic serving tray to you.


Sorry, but that iPad is useless to you.
