There is very little that you can do...
Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, or unless you can secure the cooperation of the previous owner, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. Without documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple won’t assist - and nobody here will be able to help you.

If you purchased this iPad from someone and is user activation locked to some unknown Apple ID/password, if you cannot reach this someone to attempt to get this needed unlocking info, then this iPad is a dead, useless device to you.
You will never get this iPad to work for you.
No one here can help you. Apple will NOT help you!
If you can't get yout money back, then recycle the device.
Sorry.
Recycle it. You will never be able to use it.
