apple ipad setup

Key to reuse of the iPad is the AppleID that was previously used to successfully activate the iPad. Without these credentials, you’ll not be able to satisfy the Activation Lock that will otherwise prevent reuse of the iPad.

If forgotten, your relative should be able to recover their credentials here:

To recover credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

• Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
• Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
• Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID

Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

More information about recovery of your AppleID:

If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

More information about recovery of your AppleID password:

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:

When you are ready to do so, the iPad can be properly prepared for use by a new user:

Look.

Just forget this very old 11-year old, 2011 iPad 2 now,

It is no longer worth any time or efforts to get working again.

This is a fully unsupported and obsolete device now.

Apple ended support for all 10-11-year old iOS devices 6 years, ago, in 2016.

Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 10-11 year old iOS devices 4 years, ago, in 2018.

There are, virtually, NO MORE third party apps available from the iOS App Store, any longer!

Third party compatible apps for such old devices are few and far between, now, in 2022.

This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices and, throughout 2022, ALL iOS 12 ONLY devices!

AND, NO WAY to, initially, install any older, compatible, third party apps into this old iPad, any longer!

NO MORE SUPPORT! NO MORE APPS!

All 2011-2012 iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are fully and completely unsupported AND obsolete!

Sorry, but this is the reality for ALL 10-11-year old AND OLDER iOS devices now. Especially now, in 2022.

In addition, the internal, rechargeable batteries in these old iPads are, also, running on borrowed time.

Not worth the costs to replace these old internal, rechargeable batteries in these old iPads, any longer, either.

Also, any Web browser from 2016-2018 is now too old and no longer secure or safe to be trusted to use on today’s modern Internet.

This very old iPad model will be of limited use, now.

You might be able to still purchase music, video and Apple Books content to use on this iPad, save pictures/images and still use the old Notes app, MAYBE still use FaceTime on this iPad, but that will be just about all this old iPad will ever do.

I am not even sure if Apple's old Mail app will still work for any current email services.

You can't get any third party apps for these 10 to 11-year old iPad models, any longer.

So, its usefulness to you will be severely limiited

Also, these very old iPad models have NO trade-in NOR any resale value, either.

Sorry.
