For iCloud Activation Lock, it is a security feature and you’ll need to first try and figure out the correct Apple ID and reset the password first.

If you can’t you’ll need proof of ownership, like the receipt from buying the iPad brand new yourself and to “Start an Activation Lock support request.”  from https://al-support.apple.com/#/kbase

I am trying to access my original Apple ID and account. I am not a super techie person, and have I believe several Apple ID’s with different numbers associated with them and e-mails as well. My original account I no longer have access to that company e-mail or phone number, or the device. I have photos and contacts in these accounts that I truly need to access, since they may contain some of the last pictures I would have of my mother who is now deceased, and did so unexpectedly. And help would be appreciated

thank you in advance
