how do I reset a iPad with an outdated Apple ID?

my sister gave me an old iPad mini first generation to use for my daughter but she doesn't remember her old password for her old account. How do I get past the activation lock when I don't have access to recovering the password through email?

Tell her to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team, or the iPad’s original owner to supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove the lock.
