Is the iPad Activation Locked? Do you see any errors - and if so, what are they?

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support

If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:

Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support
