I bought a used I Pad 4 , and was able to set up my Apple ID on it, used it OK for a few day.
I was going to give it to my friend, reset it, and deleted from my I Cloud my devices.
When I wanted to sign it again, using my same Apple ID & Password, to show my friend, it kept saying INCORRECT APPLE ID OR PASSWORD.
Even though I turned off for a day, and tried again..... same error.
iPad, iPadOS 15
You need the Apple ID and password that was used when the device was first set up. If you don’t know that, you can’t remove the Activation Lock.
If this is a used device, the previous owner needs to go to https://www.icloud.com/find/ and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If they won't do that, the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.

Thanks. Since it’s going to the Activation Lock screen and its saying your sign in info is wrong means it’s asking for a different Apple ID.
How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
If you sign into iCloud.com/find do you see the iPad listed? If so try removing it from your account here instead.
Thanks. To clarify you signed out of the Apple ID then erase the iPad. Now it’s going through the set up. Is it going to an Activation Lock Screen and asking you to sign into your Apple ID again?
It’s not showing in my account either, as I have already removed it.
but I was the last used user, logging in with my Apple ID, before I deleted this device.
so, it should have nothing to do with the previous owner anymore?
yes that right.
and I used my same apple ID ( which works with my other devices ) trying to sign in.....
I contacted the previous owner, and he doesn't have this I Pad in his account any more.
Neither do I. And I was the last use user , before I erased it.
