By “Factory Reset”, have you followed this process - or something else?

If instead you have used a reset procedure from iPad settings, you will not have performed a factory reset. Likewise, unless the Activation Lock has been disabled prior to a reset, the initial “hello” screen will not necessarily be seen.
