How can I unlock a gifted iPad that's iCloud locked to a school account?

hi,

I have an iPad that my aunt gifted me and I figured out that she gave me a iPad from a school, so It has its own password, but the thing is that I don't know the password. every day and every time it tells me to enter the password, even though I don't know it, I tried everything like saying I forgot the password or tried resetting it but tells me every time to enter the password!

Original Title: a used icloud/ not knowing the password

The iPad is going to be locked to the school using the MDM software when it was set up. The only way that can be removed is by the school. The reason that is the case is they certainly would not want their students to be able to remove the management software on their own or the restrictions that the school placed on the device.

Soooo, your aunt gave you an iPad that should have been returned to the school. That's usually referred to as stolen.

Or well I don’t know, am not sure if it’s a school iPad because it had “apple enrollment” in its iCloud and “k12” sooo yeah
