IPad 2 activation, forgot linked Apple ID

I Need activate an iPad 2 bought second hand , but I don't remember the Apple ID , only the password and i could reset only the password on apple website, but it didn't give me the apple ID which the iPad is linked. What should I do? Thanks for any help.

The iPad should have provided part of the Apple ID. If the ID was yours you should be able to remember it since the email address used by the Apple ID was yours. But if you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Unable to active iPad due to lack of Apple ID

I have an iPad I would like to activate however I am unable to due so since the iPad was activated with an Apple ID I do not have. This is a company iPad which I received from a former employee who is no longer with the company and I am unable to contact this person. I had to restore the iPad so I can deploy the iPad to someone else but can't activate it. Is there any way to activate the iPad without the Apple ID?

You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.

HT201365 I forgot my apple id password and now i cant activate my ipad (4th generation) and i cant reset it ..

My young sister made an icloud account on my ipad and we didnt use it for months ..
Now when i tryed to reset it it seems like i need the apple id password that my sister used to activate it .
But the problem is that she forgot the password .
Any help? I can prove that this ipad is mine and i bought it .

If you forgot your Apple ID password
Regardless of whether or not you purchased the iPad, the Apple ID is linked ot your sister's account.
You can sign in using your Apple ID and password on the iPad, but all content downloaded using her Apple ID will be deleted.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

You are absolutely WRONG. Apple bears no responsibility in this at all. YOU purchased a STOLEN phone. You are guilty of receiving stolen property at best. Take it back to wherever you bought it and demand a refund. Failing that, turn it over to the police. You got ripped off. I'm sorry you wasted your money, but there is NOTHING Apple or anyone else can do for you. Only the rightful owner of the phone can unlock it.

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

My Ipad was activated by my cousin so then when i have restarted it, i had to use their apple email to activate my ipad and she lives very far so is their any other way for me to be able to get into my ipad with my apple ID

My ipad was activated by my cousin so then i cant activate it by my apple ID so can i get into my ipad without using my cousins icloud? i know my apple ID and Apple password/

You need to erase the device and reconfigure it for yourself. Have your cousin turn off Find My Phone, then erase your iPad. After iOS is reinstalled do your own setup using your Apple ID and password.
