Someone gave me their old Ipad...

Hello,

My partner and I recently went through a devastating loss and some very kind people shared what they had to help us get back on our feet. One person in particular gave me their old IPad saying "you can have this, I never use it because I don't remember my apple ID information."

They no longer use any apple products and have tried many times to recover the lost information. After trying for a long time they gave up and eventually gave the IPad to me and my partner in hopes we would be able to find a use for it.

I have tried restoring the IPad to factory settings but it still prompts me for the old apple log-in information. Since the kind person who gave this to me does not have any of his old information, what would be the best way to go about this? I can easily contact the person who gave this to me but they no longer use Apple products.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Andrew
