Hello horangi,


The message you show is not an activation lock message. Here are two links that may be relevant. The first says it is for iPhones but the error message exactly matches the one you are seeing. The second on was a solution for one iPad user.


"If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable [or cannot be reached] or the SIM card is unsupported," read this support article to learn what to do. "If you can't activate your iPhone [or iPad]" - click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201407

- Note the special link at the end of the document for contacting Apple if there are still problems.


My iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8353154 - solved by swapping SIM cards.
