Hello
I bought an iPad at an estate sale. I don’t know previous owner, or Apple ID or PW. Please help me to be able to wipe this iPad and use it. Thank you.
Sorry there's no way to bypass Activation Lock, it against theft feature, so without the previous owner help you have a pretty brick or paperweight. Bring it back for a refund, there no way you can use it.
Nobody on here (i.e. fellow users), nor Apple, can help you - only the person whose account it's locked to can potentially remove activation lock from it.
