Unlock iPad of deceased owner without password

My father in law died several years ago and we’d like to pass on his iPad to another family member but all his accounts are closed and we have NO record or memory of his password. Is there any way to bypass the need for the password?

How can I unlock my deceased uncle's iPad ? My late Uncle gifted me his iPad. I have factory reset the device, but it is still locked. He did not give me his user name or password.
