How can I unlock activation lock. I purchased my iPad second hand and it says to give the activation lock that is set by previous owner and I have no contact to him now. How can I unlock it?

If you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them go to https://www.icloud.com/find/, erase the device, then remove it from their account, then the device is useless. Apple won't unlock it.

Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support. *
