Ive decided to give my very old iPad to a relative as I haven’t used it in years. When I first got the IPad I was using my dads apple account and since he’s updated his email address and when I try to erase and take the iPad back to factory settings it’s asking me to

log out of find my iPhone/iPad but it’s got my dads old email address in and we don’t know the password it’s saying the Apple ID is not invalid and the account is locked and we can’t go any further and can’t change the password

Thanks

You need to start by resolving the AppleID account that is locked:

If you intend to reuse the iPad with a different AppleID, such as giving the iPad to a new owner, you would be advised to prepare it properly for reuse - as this will ensure that the Activation Lock associated with the original AppleID is removed, along with all data and other sensitive information:
