Is there a way to access a locked iPad without proof of purchase? My mother had this I-pad. She died in March 2022. I have tried all user names and passwords I could remember or find in her papers. I can't find a receipt or record of her purchase. How can I open it so I can remove her photos, etc.? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I unlock an old iPad without any proof of ownership? I can’t unlock an old iPad that my husband (he has been deceased for 3 years) gave me. I don’t have any receipts, old email account or anything. I need Help!! I don’t know what to do being I don’t have anything to show that it’s mine given to me by my deceased husband. The iPad that is locked is a mini Apple iPad. It was replaced with a larger iPad that I purchased myself. The mini iPad was in storage and hasn’t been used since March or April 2019.
