Reset Apple ID - Forgotten Password and recovery goes to a PHone I no longer have access to?

I have an IPAD trying to do Factory Data Reset from former user. I have email address access for the Apple ID used, but the reset protocol wants a PHone number I do not have . Is there a way to change what the password recovery uses to authenticate?

See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
