Locked I pad

Bought a used I pad. It is locked. When I try to activate it ask for former owners Apple ID and password.

Return it for a refund. The iPad is and will remain useless without

the former owner's information.


If you can contact the former owner, provide him/her/them with this link:

There is no workaround for the security features of Activation Lock.
