Just letting people know that thievery isn't the only way you get other peoples iPads, there are some real people out here.
Yes and there are solutions for persons in that situation. Real people can and do obtain assistance from Apple. If you are, in fact, the legitimate owner of the iPad, you can also obtain assistance. There is no need for your denigrating sarcasm. On the other hand, you're making me believe that you did not obtain this iPad legally.

You should have created a new apple id for him.
Now I can't log out his id from my ipad4, we are sharing 1 Apple ID and it's not even mine but his..
??? What is the story. You said that you used your apple id. Now you say it is his. Did you give him the password? Perhaps he changed it.

Get with him. Get an apple id for each device. Drop down to one device for each apple id.

My nephew bought iPad 2, did not need any more as he purchased update. Some time later, he gave it to my dad and set it up for him. A new toy for him at age 82, he filled up 16gb in no time with pictures and songs. Now, not only it was very slow. but he could not connect to iCloud. None of the family members can remember any passwords used. I got hold of the unit to reformat but now getting stuck. It's not stolen, not sold / purchased ... just passed to another member of the family but no one knows any of the passwords used. So what next, All you who always think of theft and security, there is something as forgetting the details! By the way, we did visit Apple store whose response was, "iPad 2 is now 'old and out-dated, get a new one!" Should have gotten Samsung instead!
Does anyone have any idea how to bypass AppleID or k*******@iCloud.com password? Please?<Edited By Host>

Jun 13, 2015 12:31 PMby gail from maine,Does your nephew remember the Apple ID (email address) that he used when he signed into iCloud and turned on Find My iPhone on this device? Unless he has had tons of email addresses, it should be very hard to pinpoint. Once you know the Apple ID email address, you can have that same nephew log that Apple ID email address into Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to change the password. If he doesn't remember the answers to his Security Questions, he can contact Apple Support to reset them for him so he can then proceed with the password reset:
Once your nephew has gotten the password to that Apple ID reset, he can tell you what it is so you can reformat the device.

I have tried everything I can - my id is MY email address but it asks for my original password - I enter my original password but it will not accept. MY phone - not a stolen phone. MY ID - works for everything else.
Who are you? I have not seen your post describing your exact issues. Take it to an Apple Store with your receipt of purchase. We can't see your iPad from here.
Good luck
