ipad help

My IPad hasn’t been used in years. I am trying to set it up again. I connected to wifi. Then it goes to the Activation lock screen. It shows an email that is no longer my email. How can I switch from one email to another when all the screens options are pressing activation lock help?

You need to enter the AppleID and passcode that was used

to initiate the Activation Lock. It does not matter that the email

address is no longer active - you just need to enter it.

There is no workaround for the security features of Activation Lock.
