IPad is stuck on Activate screen

iPad is stuck on Activate iPad screen, the linked apple id is asking for a password which when entered wants reset as it been entered wrong three times.
Can't reset as there are no security questions or email confirmation on account - have receipt to prove its my iPad.
Help, my iPad is a brick and its all a catch 22!

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Can I change the original apple id to activate ipad

I am wondering if any iPad expert out here can help me. I had to reset my son's iPad 2 after he forgot the new pass code he changed last week. Now I am getting the Activate iPad screen.
I have the Apple Id that was used to activate the iPad as we bought it from new. But I can't remember the password. I managed to sign in to myAppleId site through security question validation, and requested password resetting for the Apple Id.
Apple sent a verification link to the email address which is my son's hotmail.co.uk account, but he has not used this hotmail account for long long time as he could not remember the password. It is all a bit of mess, I know.
So now, I am stuck.
In the my Apple Id site, I have an option to change Apple Id and primary email address. If I change this to my email account, and consequently change the Apple Id as well, will I be able to use this new Apple Id to activate the iPad? My worry is that it will still not match with the original Apple Id we first used to activate the iPad from new.
I am absoulely frustrated. Contacted Microsoft regarding resetting hotmail account password, the security rules are so restrict, and they can't help as this hotmail account has not been in use for long long time, and I can't provide any info such as when the last email was sent, etc.
Please help me ...
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, easy to do.
Go to Settings>General>Erase All Content and Settings, then set up your iPad as a new one. You'll have to put in your ID and password to force the erase.

Could not activate iPad after upgrade 8.1.3

I have an iPad mini 64GB WIFI cellular AT&T. I have removed the SIM card because I no longer wish to use it on the cellular network only WIFI.
I restored the iPad to factory and upgraded to iOS 8.1.3. However, now when trying to activate it. I get an error message "could not activate iPad because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes".
Connecting the iPad to iTunes also fails.
I have restore the iPad mini many times and it still fails to connect to the server to activate.
The iPad mini worked properly before upgrading from iOS 8.0.3 to iOS 8.1.3.
Any ideas?

More troubleshooting I have found the answer. You cannot put the new Apple SIM card (from the iPad2) into an iPad mini. Putting the original SIM card back into the iPad mini allowed the iPad mini to activate properly.
Thanks,

Weren't you getting the "can't contact the activation server message"?
If the PC is running the latest version of iTunes, connect the iPad to the computer with the cable and launch iTunes - if iTunes doesn't start on its own. iTunes should guide you through the activation process.

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

Contact t-mobile where you are. Probably easiest to go to one of their

About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device...

My headphone jack is stuck in my ipad

My head phone jack is stuck in my ipad I need help

I recently was listening to music And then One of my earphones was not working, wiggling the pug it soon came back. I kept wiggling it to be able to listen to both earphones but then the wire and plastic hold snapped off, leaving the whole of the metal jack in, with just about 1mm or even 0.5mm left above the actual rim of my phone. The only way I could get it out on my own without spending money or waiting 4months for something, I simply got a small tool from my draw - it was a small metal point of a plastic handle - and dragged it out with it. If you use this method be cautious not to scratch your device!

Required to Activate iPad After Rebooting

Has anyone recently rebooted their iPad, then have a request to enter Apple ID and password to reactivate iPad? I received the following message prior to the passcode screen:
"Activate iPad. This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (my Apple ID abbreviated). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad." Spaces for Apple ID and Password were provided. Then a link to "Activation Help" was given, which I clicked. It said:
"A password is required to activate this device because its owner has used Find My iPhone to link it to their Apple ID.
If this is your device, enter the Apple ID and password you used to set up iCloud.
If you were given this device or purchased it second-hand, you will need to contact the original owner to have them remove this device from their account. Additional information can be found at: support.apple.com/kb/TS4515."
I went to this website on my PC . . . no such website exists.
I sense this is a malware attack to shake me down for money to unlock my device. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm planning to go to the local Apple Store this afternoon for advice.
Thanks.

The page does exist, it's just that it's now been renamed (that's the original name, Apple have been renaming their troubleshooting and help pages) : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support (my browser redirects me to the new page from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515 ).
What do you mean by 'rebooted' your iPad ? If you reset it back to factory defaults, or restored to a backup, then you will see the activation lock screen asking for the id and password that you were using in Settings > iCloud on the iPad (and if you had Find My iPad enabled), it's a theft deterrent. If you type in your id and password the iPad should reactivate.
