I lost my ipad

Hi.. i just lost my ipad (wifi).. I've try to located but its offline. I've turn on "erase data mode" using "find my iphone" apps.

My question is: if they can successfully erase my ipad and they create a new apple id, can i still find my ipad using serial number? Can apple help me on this?

Or anybody can give me any suggestion. tq

The article you included in your post is in reference to erasing a passcode. There is no known way to bypass your Apple ID and password in Activation Lock. The Apple ID password must be entered before it can be erased. See the quote below from: iCloud: Activation Lock


With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:

  • Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
  • Sign out of iCloud on your device
  • Erase and reactivate your device
