Resetting iPad 2 without Apple ID and Password

I recently bought a used iPad 2 32GB from somebody online. When I went to reset it, it asked for an Apple ID and Password. I contacted the seller and could never get ahold of them to get that information. Is there a way to reset the iPad without having the Apple ID and Password?

If iPad is using IOS 7, you need the Apple ID and Password of previous owner to activate iPad.
There is no workaround.

HT204053 I am trying to log into my IPad using my apple ID and password to download updates, which I have done before, but it brings up my daughters ID instead of mine? What do I do to get it to bring up my apple ID.

I am trying to log into my IPad using my apple ID and password to download updates, which I have done before, but it brings up my daughters ID instead of mine? What do I do to get it to bring up my apple ID.

Could it be that you or your daughter used your daughters Apple ID to install these apps? Make sure that your Apple ID is set up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" then delete the Apps when your daughters ID appears and then re-download them again by using your own Apple ID. This should fix the problem.

You have run into Activation Lock, an antitheft feature introduced by Apple in iOS 7.
You will have to get the previous owner to sign into iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone for that phone. Without that you will never be able to activate this phone.
If the shop where you purchased this phone cannot provide you with that information you need to return the iPhone and get your money back.
The receipt from the shop is not sufficient to get Apple to clear the Activation Lock. You would need the original receipt from when the iPhone was purchased originally from an authorized reseller.

My ipod was stolen can they restore my ipod without apple id and password

my ipod touch was stolen and i have find my ipod ive reported it stolen with the serial number is there anyway that they can register it or restore it without my apple id and password?

As long as the iPod as signed in to iCloud and FindMyiPod was turned on then to use the iPod someone has to enter the iCloud ID and password.
If there was no screen-lock passcode then someone could continue to use th iPod but could not restore it or signout of iCloud

How can unlock icloud lock without APPLE ID AND PASSWORD etc.

Can i can open icloud lock of iphone 5 by restoring it ? please answer me on my new email [email protected]

There is no way. Contact the registered owner to remove from his iCloud account.

HT204053 how can i delete a defunct Apple ID from iCloud. It controls my access to iCloud and I can't change it. I do have a current Apple ID and Password in iTunes, App Store and everywhere else.

I have a Mac desk top and and iPad, a current Apple ID and Password and gmail address. Mac says can't access icloud be cause of a problem with my gmail address. I click to fix it and it asks for a password for my OLD yahoo account, whick I don't have. BTW, this is all set up on my iPad but the account is not verified.....round and round she goes! What can I do next?

If the old ID (Yahoo address) was an earlier version of your current ID (Gmail address), try recreating your old ID from your new ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. Then enter the password for your current ID when your Mac prompts you for your Yahoo ID.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

How do I activate my new to me Ipad without the previous owner's Apple ID and Password?

I purchased a second hand Ipad 2 on ebay and have no way to contact the previous owner so he can remove it from his Apple account. Is there a way I can bypass his Apple ID and password and activate it with my Apple ID and Password? I have gone through the resetting to factory settings but at the end of the reset/restore process it insists that I enter the Apple ID and Password that was used to activate it. I cannot go pass this step.
Please advise.

You're facing activation lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/TI174 and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695. You need to contact the previous owner and have them remove Find My iPhone using these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702?viewlocale=en_US

HT201363 I need to delete an existing iCloud account that was set up on my phone using a previous Apple ID. Since the I've reset both my Apple ID and password (lost my iPad) I cannot delete the iCloud account from my phone because it is still under the ol

I have an old iCloud account on my phone.
This account was set up using an old Apple ID and password.
Since then I've changed both id and password.
In order to delete the existing (old) iCloud account from my phone I need to provide the old password from the old and defunct account.
I don't remember that password.
I've tried resetting it through the support network but to no avail.
I need to delete the old account in order to set up a new one.
Any thoughts?

If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

Ipad continues to use my old Apple ID and password. I can't remember the password. I have created a new Apple ID but icloud is still locked up with the old one. Help.

Last week I changed my Apple ID. I was having some problems with getting "incorrect ID or password" message. sometimes it would accept my info and sometimes it wouldn't. I got tired with messing with it and decided to just create a new Apple ID and password. The new ID has worked ok, but my icloud account still comes up with my old ID. I tried to change that but couldn't without signing in with the old ID. I did several times but I always get the message "incorrect Apple ID and password". I tried using other password but nothing worked. Now I'm not sure what the password is. I have asked for a password reset to be sent to me but nothing comes ( using my regular email ). I have tried using the secret questions and I get them all correct except my birthday doesn't jive with what they say. I really need some ideas. My icloud account is essentially locked to me and isn't backing up my stuff. that's about all I can think of to tell you.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

Hello, my friend's ipad locked and need the apple id and password to unlock the setup and open the ipad but he don't remember any one of them nor his email and security questions what can we do about that please solution?

hello, my friend's i pad locked and need the apple id and password to unlock the setup and open the i pad but he don't remember any one of them nor his email and security questions the serial number of tha i pad is DYT*******PH and the part number is MC979ZP/A what can we do about that please solution?
<Edited by Host>

Your friend will have to remember or find his account id and password, without them he won't be able to re-activate the iPad.
Does he have any of the account's downloads in his computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
Or has he tried finding it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
If he can find the account id he can then get its password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
(As these are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, I've asked the hosts to remove the serial number from your post.)

HT4528 my iphone is not working, I have tried to reset and access to activate it and it will not let me, saying I have incorrect apple id and password! Help please!

Can someone help me with my apple id reset to get my iphone to work please?

Enter your correct Apple ID and password.
If you bought the phone used you have encountered activation lock installed by the prior owner. You will not be able to get past the activation lock without the proper credentials. Contact the prior owner. If the prior owner does not know the details the device is probably stolen and you have lost your money.
If you bought the phone new from Apple take it back to the store with your receipt so that Apple can help you.

How do you reset the security questions when you havent used a credit card to make any purchases, only the gift cards. Apple support will not help me even though i know my account and apple id and password?

Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!

I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.
