How can I erase all content and settings without password

I just bought this iPad from my friend, when I try to erase all content and settings, it asked me about the password of his Apple ID password. But he already forgot it! So how can I erase everything back to the factory setting, like a brand new iPad, has nothing in it. Please help and thank you very much.

That is activation lock and cannot be bypassed. He will have to remember his password, or reset it so you can continue with the restore. There's no way around this as it is an anti theft feature to prevent thieves from being able to use the device. It would be pointless if you could bypass it.

HT201274 how can i erase all content once my service is off?

i would like to recycle phone. my service has been turned off. when i follow the directions, general/reset/erase all content and settings it prompts me to enter my apple password, then it says "verification failed - the internet connection appears to be offline. Is there no way to erase you content once your service is off so that you can recycle your phone?
thanks!

It's asking you to sign in because you most likely have find my iPhone turned on. If you can connect to WiFi, I'd suggest turning off find my iPhone by going to Settings>iCloud>find my iPhone. Turn it off and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting. That will fix the issue.

How can I display all content (graphics)

On Skynet (United airlines employee website), when I try to look at the "seat selection" window, it displayes only numbers, it does not display a graphic of the cabin (seats). How can I display all content?

You can see that it is a font issue by the appearance of the little boxes with the hex code of the characters that Firefox displays when there is no font that covers this Unicode range. You might see a different character in case you would have a font that maps this font.

If it's activation locked, you can't; go back to the shop and ask for a refund.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Press the delete button and then confirm the action.

How do you erase all content and settings on my iPad? I've done this 11 time and it won't erase. I now have to wait 1 hour.

You are entering one of two possible codes incorrectly.
1. The device's passcode. If you forgot it, here's the cure:

2. The Activation Lock (Apple ID and password). Your Apple ID and password are now required to erase the device - an anti-theft measure. Here's a writeup about that:

If you don't have the Apple ID and password, the device will never be able to be erased.
