Skip Setup Assistant iPad Air

Hey guys, how to skip Setup Assistant iPad Air? Recently, I've forget my Apple ID and password for my iPad. So I've changed the Apple ID (No problem anymore). Problem is I forget my iPad Air password and I've never sync with any Mac. Keep guessing my iPad password until 'Connect To iTunes'. So I connect to iTunes with iPad cable. A message was shown that my iPad was not sync on my Mac. I went to hard reset my iPad Air using DFU mode. It didn't worked. It asked for my iCloud activation after hard reset but forget my iCloud account. In addition of bad news is I've turned on 'Find My iPad'. Someone, please help me with my iPad Air. Just bought for few days then I forget password. Someone help me please! I love this new iPad! Its my first iPad!


P.S. I've use Apple Configurator, third-party apps to skip Setup Assistant but it didn't worked too! It almost worked but lock!

iPad, iOS 7.1, iPad Air

With iOS 7 and activation lock you will either need to type in the id and password on the iPad, or login to the account on http://icloud.com and remove the iPad from it - activation lock can't be bypased.


Activation lock : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515


The ID that you say that you've changed, that is not the same account that you used for iCloud on your iPad ? The iPad doesn't show in the Find My iPhone section on the the account on http://icloud.com ?


If you can't remember your id then have you got any downloads from the account on your computer's iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1920 ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com
