If you are preparing the iPad for use by somebody else, you must properly disable the Activation Lock - as otherwise the iPad will remain associated with the AppleID account that was last successfully used to activate the iPad.


To both remove the Activation Lock - and fully erase existing data and sensitive information - you should follow the procedure outlined within this Apple support page:
