Use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team. Without the original purchase receipt, Apple won't unlock the iPad for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure.


This is actually a forgotten Apple ID issue, not an activation lock one. If you do get the lock bypassed, you still won't have access to anything else associated with that account.
