How do I reset a used ipad given to me as a gift? I am unable to finish activation because I have no previous owner's information?
Settings, general, erase all content and settings.
if the person has iOS7 on that device and it's activation locked then you'll need the apple ID of the previous owner to fully wipe it. So if you can't wipe it you'll need that previous owner to give you their apple ID or to unlock it for you.
If you can't contact them or if they can't unlock it, try to get your money back because without that info you can't fully erase that ipad, and it's unfortunately possible that the device they sold you wasn't theirs to sell.

The previous owner needs to do this.
