You have to get in touch with the previous owner and ask for their help. Only the previous owner can erase the iCloud details for you. There is nothing that you can so to overcome the iOS 7 Activation Lock.


If you cannot get in touch with the previous owner, your iPad is useless. If you get in touch with him and if he doesn't "remember" his iCloud credentials, ask for a refund.

Sorry but there is no way to activate without original user's iCloud Apple ID/Plassword due to security reason. Just tell original owner to remove your iPad from his/her iCloud account and your good to go. It's one of Apple's strongest security encrypting method to protect the data from fief. Even hacks and jailbreaks won't able to bypass or crack this encryption method.
