You need to enter the Apple ID and Apple ID Password you used to set up the iPad. As you can see from the photo, there is even an Apple ID hint.


Now, if you bought a used iPad, you have a problem. You'll need whoever you bought it from to remove activation lock before you can use it. This link describes what should have been done before you received the iPad --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you don't know or can't reach the previous owner, you have a totally useless device, which you can never use. Activation lock can only be removed by the person who set the lock. We can't help you and Apple won't help you.


If you are the original owner, see this link about removing activation lock --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support


And if you did purchase a used device read this --> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250001038
