IPad linked to old user email

Hi,
I got an iPad 3 sitting on my desk from last 1 year with broken screen and dents. i fixed it yesterday and want to update the software and try using it.
it was asking me the pass code which i don't know. this iPad was used by one of our old employees who left the company and no idea where he was.
i did restore the iPad in recovery mode and updated the IOS.
Now i got another issue. this iPad was linked to the old user email and asking me to enter the same details. i don't have the details and don't even know where the employee currently located.
how do i fix this issue. how do i unlink this iPad from that user account?
please some one help me with this.
thank you,

    How do I change the email and account info on my new iPad from the old user to me?

    Restore the iPad to out of the box configuration. This will erase all contents/settings on the iPad. Then set up using your ID and email info.

  • I am trying to change my apple Id on my iPad from an old work email address to a new one.  I have changed it in FaceTime and on the iPad log in but can't get it to change in iTunes. Any ideas?

    I am trying to change my Apple ID on my iPad from an old work email address to a new personal address.  I have changed it on my new iPad and in FaceTime but can't get it to work in iTunes.  Any ideas?

    If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • I put in the wrong email when creating my apple id. I changed my id on my laptop but my ipad has my old (wrong) email addrss and a password that wont let me sign in

    I just got my new I pad, entered all of my information.. after confirmingm y account I realized I had put in the wrong email address. I went on my laptop to change my apple id address, then went to my ipad to purchase an app and it still had my old(incrrect) email address. I typed in the password anyway and it would not let me sign in. I only gave it one password so I don't know why it is saying my password is incorrect. Anywho, THis ipad is a pain in the ***. NEver had a mac before and already its a pain in the ***. I have read a couple of threads that are not really helpful. I read one thread on this site that showed a lady with my similiar issue and she did not get the answer she was looking for. Can some one help me so I can change the apple I.D. on my ipad. The apple I.D. on my computer lets me sign in but not on my ipad; go figure. Good job apple. please help.

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

  • Used 8703e getting old users emails - help

    Hello
    I gave my old 8703e BB to my boyfriend, and he keeps getting some of my old AOL emails (dated 2-3 weeks ago), but so far, doesn't get the new ones that come thru - he will just get a rush of 10+ emails from February or early March. I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon (our carrier), and have checked that the PIN is released, wiped the device twice, checked my BIS account, checked his BIS account, checked the service books on the BB, checked the email accounts on the BB (my AOL is not on there any longer), checked the applications, reset my AOL password and he's still getting my older AOL emails - is there a ghost in the machine? Any thoughts on how to get the email to stop going to the old phone for good? I had no idea BB had this issue - glad I gave the phone to someone I trust!
    Thanks for any assistance..

    beware of too large INboxes when you do that. If you tend to keep all your messages there, it may give a problem when you do the transfer;

  • I erased my iPad but the old user apple id keeps popping up and i don't remember the old password

    Recently, I changed my old apple id because i could no longer excess the old email address.  An apple tech helped me change my apple id but i was unable to update anything.  I was told to erase my I pad so that the new apple id would come on.  Well i didn't  know that i had linked the i pad to find my phone. It wants me to put in the old password and to the old apple id but i don't remember it.  I can't get pass the old activation screen.

    If you activated find my ipad while using the old ID, it is activation locked.
    You will not be able to get past it without using the old ID passwordIf
    you forgot your Apple ID password

  • My ipad displays the old user name. the control panel shows my name but I can not login.

    Why can I not log in this support area using my itune username?
    I am the second user of my iPad. The settings area for the App Store has my correct information. But the App Store application shows the previous user. How can I fix this?
    Thanks,

    Great, glad you got it sorted out. Let us know if you have follow up questions.

  • Used iPad locked with old user.

    How do I reset an I-Pad that is still connected to the previous user/owner?

    If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPad for a refund if you can.

    Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    It's unlikely that hackers are the problem, but there's no way of knowing for sure. In the meantime, you've done exactly the right thing: create a new Apple ID (or change the password on your old ID.

  • My IPAD is downloading old emails from my email account on my PC.  How can I get it to stop?

    You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
    Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
    Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
