Activation lock ipad air 2 no access to email and phone number

The ipad air 2 is on activation lock, but because of the apple id being an old account we dont remember the password,then the phone number is no longer active, is there a way to remove the apple id and activate the ipad again without paying anything? my niece is the one who uses the ipad and it was a gift from her grandmother and the one who set up the apple id is her grandmother. I dont think they kept the receipt or anything. Also i dont think that there’s another device that uses the same account please help thanksUser uploaded file

In the absence of the original purchase documents your only way forward is to attempts to retrieve the ID and reset its password by going to http://iforgot.apple.com . If this fails try going to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More', then 'iCloud', then 'Account and Setup', then 'Troubleshooting iCloud account issues'. Then click 'No thanks. Continue' to be offered contact methods. Note that while Apple may be able to help you retrieve the ID (it will need to be the person who created it who does this) they will not unlock the device for you without the original purchase documents and the verified presence of the original purchaser.
