Hi there andersonng,


If your iPad was up to date with iOS 7, then it has a feature called Activation Lock. With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. Take a look at the article below for more information.
