Inquiring about a used ipad

I have received an iPad with Houston Thibodeaux laser etched into the back. I would like to return the iPad to this person, or receive the username password to unlock and use

Ask whoever gave you the iPad for assistance. If that person

cannot resolve the problem, recycle the iPad responsibly.


If the iPad powers on, you could ask Siri who owns the iPad.

Depending on how the iPad was set up, you may get

some information about the owner.


Apple does not get involved in tracking lost/stolen iPads.

iPadOS provides a way for the owner to leave contact

information on the iPad screen; if the owner has chosen

not to avail themselves of this feature, there is no way

to get the owner's information.


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