I recently bought an after-market iPad. While I was setting up the device, I realized the device is locked. As I do not know who the previous owner was. How do i go about unlocking the device and carry on with the setup using my own Apple-ID.

iPad mini, iOS 12

That objective is impossible without the cooperation of the previously authorized owner.


The best outcome that you can hope for is to get your payment refunded.
