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. I do know his main email address that he generally used for most things. Is it possible to unlock the iPad or should I just give up and throw it away.

Unless he can provide the email address and password to unlock the iPad, it will be useless to you. He should have gone thru the steps listed in this article before giving you that iPad.
