Need some help to unlock the Ipad. Cannot contact the previous owner he is in the shelter and I do not know were. After I restore the Ipad is asking that the previous owner has to remove it from his account

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

"cannot be used to unlock this iPad" the owner of the Ipad is not present :( there's anything other way to open my ipad?

Please help me

Unfortunately no there isn't. That is the activation Lock feature of iOS 7 the purpose of which is to try to make it more difficult for people to steal and use iOS devices. Unless you can contact the previous owner and get their help erasing/unlocking the iPad, you are stuck with a useless device.
The possibility does exist that you have a stolen iPad. If the sale was legitimate, the previous owner would have no reason to not erase it for you. Just my own personal opinion ....

Oh - I see that you have that article linked to your post above. Read the entire paragraph in item #1. It tells you what to do if it is asking for a passcode.

I am unable to unlock my ipad, it says "connct to itunes" any help?

i am unable to unlock my ipad, it says"connect to itunes", any help?

See if any of these suggestions help.
Tap the "waiting" or "installing" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each icon.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, you might be best served if you download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do I unlock my iPad? Unable to get serial number since I can't open iPad to get serial number to get help fixing problem.

What do you need the serial number for to unlock the iPad? If the iPad is locked because you forgot the Passcode, you have to restore the device.
What are you trying to unlock?
Your serial number is written on the back of the iPad and on the box that the iPad came in.

But I can not do this since the iPad is locked. Could anyone tell me how I can reset my mini Ipad as new? Thanks!Unl

You still need a computer with iTunes.
