I removed my Apple ID from my iPad and now it will not let me back in. It is asking for the password from when i originally set up the iPad years ago. How can i get back in?

if you are the original owner, contact Apple. They can remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
