If you're getting told that it cannot be unlocked with that Apple ID, you need to log in with the one it's locked to, or contact the person who can, or if you're the iPad's original owner, supply Apple with its purchase receipt.


If you're getting a different error message, you're probably better off addressing it directly than having the lock bypassed.
