You don't and never will.

That iPad will always be a dead, useless device to you

No one here can help you.

Apple WILL NOT help you!


Never, EVER purchased used Apple personal mobile devices from ANY type of auction, estate/homesales, tag/lawn/garden/garage sales, antique/flea markets, car boot sales/markets, and any type of thrift stores or pawn shops.


Please properly and responsibly recycle this device.

It a a dead device that no one will ever be able to usend.


Sorry.
