One time, a friend of mine asked me if it is possible to bypass iCloud activation lock on iPad? It was not a second-hand iPad as he bought it from the Apple Store. I suggested him to erase the iPad. But then, he found the iCloud Activation Lock screen asked him to enter the Apple ID and password. The problem is, he forgot the Apple ID that he used to set up the iPad. Visiting the nearest Apple store with a valid proof of purchase can be the next solution for this issue. And guess what? He couldn’t find it either. If you are facing the same issue, these methods may solve the problem.
