second hand ipad,
i have been given an old ipad, which the owner can't remember his old apple account or his email address. I had the ipad wiped clean and want to give it to my grandson who is 4. Is there anyway to activate this ipad?

You need to contact the previous owner to have them log out of iCloud or go to https://www.icloud.com/find/ and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If you can’t do that, the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.
Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support.
See if they can recover the ID/password. Use every email address they can think of.
Apple ID - How to find your Apple An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.
For the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password. See if you can get an email option if necessary.
