You bought an iPad from a guy who got it from a guy and the original owner forgot to erase it and you don't know the guy ..... Smells like a stolen iPad to me. I'm not accusing you, I'm thinking the guy that knows the guy got his hands on a stolen device.


I'm sorry but you are out of luck unless you can contact the original owner and get him to erase the device for you.
