Q: I cant activate my ipad I do not have the password of the previous owner and i cant get a hold of him either

You won't be able to use the iPad unless you can find and contact the previous owner and he/she removes the iPad from their account - there is nothing that anybody on these forums, nor Apple, will be able to do

Sorry to bring bad news to you, you got a brick: Activation Lock cannot be bypassed.

Only the original owner Apple ID & password can help, no one else and not Apple.

Hi

If you bought from a shop / website like ebay get your money back .

Cheers
