Many times you get errors on a device that you swear that the Apple ID and password is yours and it won't work?, I've had the same situation before, My fix most of the time is called re-booting very simple as 1)turn the device off completely

2)leave it off for about 30 seconds

3) turn it back on and you may feel the zzzzz from the buzzer

4) try it again and if it is yours, It should work, if it does not, then you gotta contact Apple for a password

reset in which they will ask for your info that you set up when you first bought the device...

5) Good Luck!!!!!!!

Get the person to whom the iPad is Activation Locked to compete

the steps in the link below;

Prepare your device to sell or give away


Or you can take proof of purchase from Apple or Apple authorized

reseller showing the iPad serial number by the company and letter

of authorization showing you are a representative of the company to

Apple where they may assist you.

There is definitely a problem with the activation lock. I have an iPhone 6s which needed a reset after putting in the wrong code too many times. Did the reset button can't get beyond the **** activation lock. It's the same idea as I used to log in to this page!

Bought brand new not second hand or stolen.

Called apple and they don't even know. My next phone will not be an iPhone.

If anyone knows the answer because apple doesn't seem too.
