Exactly.
You probably have a second hand iPad that was protected using Activation Lock as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature. You need the previous owner's Apple ID and password to unlock the iPad. Otherwise, the iPad can never be used again.
If you bought the iPad used and it's locked to the previous owner you will have to find and contact him/her and ask them to remove the iPad from their account (Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support), nobody on here nor Apple can help
If your phone is icloud locked you will have to enter the Apple ID and passcode used to lock it. There is no other solution. If you do not have this information the phone will never work. Knowing the IMEI will not help with Activation Lock. ONLY the correct Apple ID and passcode will work.
Have you tried : If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support ? If you can find your id, to reset its password : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you still can't find it, and if the iPad is on the activation screen and if you were the original purchaser of the iPad (i.e. it wasn’t bought used), you could try going to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment if you do) or try contacting iTunes Support online (https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html) and see if they can remove the iPad from the account - they are likely to want to see proof of ownership before they might help e.g. original receipt with the serial number on it

Don't post your email address, these are user-to-user public forums - I've asked the hosts to remove it.

Hola buenas tardes eva duran una pregunta fijate que me acaban de vender creo al parecer tu ipad mi error fue comprarla entonces queria ver si aun te interesa tu ipad ponte en contacto conmigo gracias y buen dia
If your phone is on the activation screen you will have to type in the id and password of the account that it's locked to.
If you bought it used and it's locked to the previous owner's account you will have to contact the previous owner - only the person whose account it's locked to can remove the phone from that account.
Nobody on these forums (nor Apple) will be able to help you contact the previous owner, nor remove activation lock from the device. Have you not got contact details for the person that you bought the device from ?

Really???
Do you expect someone on this forum to say "Ah, yes, I know this owner! Here is how to contact him/her." This cannot possibly happen.
Contact the people who sold you the device. If you cannot learn the owner that way, the device will remain useless to you.

Are you serious? Do you expect someone on this forum to simply share their Apple ID and password with you? That will not happen!
Even if it did, it would do you no good, as you must get the original owner to unlock the iPhone with their Apple ID and password.

im having the same problem can anyone help me please
OK.
The answer for you is exactly the same as the answers for all the other folks who asked the same question in the 27 months since this thread started.
Your iPad is Activation Locked. You must contact the original owner to get the iPad unlocked or the iPad will never function for you.
For more details, read all the questions and answers that preceded yours in this thread.
Hope that helps.
The iPad is useless to you. The pawn shop should not have sold it to you. If they will not take it back contact the police, as they knowingly sold you a useless iPad. Unless they told you it was activation locked.
