out of the blue the activation lock came on.
it's asking for my email and password for an old yahoo account.
I have a new Apple ID but it won't accept that.
I decided to remove it from my list of devices but that didn't help either.
Why did this happen? because I DIDN'T upgrade and want to brick my iPad Air 1? bog it down with software meant for the 2020 model? Please help!
