Have you checked Settings/Your Name to see what Apple ID is used there? Checked Settings/Messages and Settings/FaceTime?


If you don't know what ID is on your iPad, if you reset the iPad, you will have an Activation Lock asking for the ID.


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      *


Restore - If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.   *


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.     *


See if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.


Apple ID - How to find your Apple  -  An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.

If you forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
