Q: HELP! My iPad (which I have had for over two years with no problems) suddenly is locked and needing to be activated. My apple ID is not working and it is prompting me with a hotmail account that IS NOT MINE. Any ideas? Was I hacked?

    Everything is possible, one way or another you need to change your password if you were hacked and contact Apple with your original receipt to unlock ipad or get assist in refreshing your memory to find old icloud account that you may not remember anymore.

    Contact apple link is on the right bottom of every page.
