How to remove activation lock

The iPad is useless to you.

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 no one can remember or provide the proper AppleID and password login info, then this iPad is a dead, useless device to you.

Forget about this iPad.

You will never get this iPad to work for you.

No one here can help you. Apple will not help you.

Just recycle this electronics device responsibly.

Sorry.

I have a iPad that was given to me. Haven’t been able to get inside because the person forgot the person and I’m locked behind an activation lock.

The ipad is useless if the person who gave it to you forgot the person.
