As explained by ChrisJ4203, if the iPad is Activation Locked by an AppleID account that you do not control, you need to secure the cooperation of the owner of the account to which the iPad is locked. Unless the lock is removed by the owner of the account last used to activate the iPad, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the lock.
