You will very likely encounter Activation Lock which requires the Apple ID and Password of the original owner who set up the iPad. Without that info, you will not be able to get into the iPad. We can't help and Apple will not unless you can provide the original receipt clearly showing the serial number or follow the instructions in the blue link above your name on this page.
