I have an old work ipad that was my dads, the company is no more but the ipad is signed in with an old company email on Apple ID, the email is now obsolete so I cannot get onto the ipad after re-setting it. Is there anything I can do or is this ipad just worth throwing in the bin now?
If you are talking about "activation lock" (an anti-theft measure), AND if you cannot remember or don't know the old Apple ID & Password (even using these instructions:--> If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number - Apple Support or these:--> If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can help you, sorry, unless you are the original owner and you still have the proof of purchase (receipt/invoice reporting your device’s Serial Number). Should be this case, start your request using this link: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support
Shouldn’t be this case, activation lock can be removed only by the previous owner, with the credentials that were used to activate that iPhone/iPad. Without those credentials, that device is useless to you.

You can use the Additional Activation Lock Support, if you have proof of ownership.

Will I ever be able to get past Apple ID?
