How Do You Get Past Activation Lock on iPad Mini?

Hello, I've recently discovered my iPad Mini 2 and wanted to reset it and set it up again. I began to do so and everything was going smoothly until i reached the 'Activation Lock' screen. It instructed me to enter the Apple ID details that the device was set up with. It gave me what looked like a guideline of the e-Mail address (something similar to m*****@k*****.au) I recognised the address and knew that we don't use that account and we thought we deleted it. (I also wasn't sure as to why it let me have access to an apple ID without an iCloud address) I typed in what I thought the address and password were, but it failed to log me in, as my family don't use that account anymore, I thought this may have been the case anyway. I tried variations of the address and even my own current one, but nothing worked. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to get past this screen? Thanks.

You cannot change the Apple ID until you can login with the old one.
