iPad-Activation Lock

My iPad has been turned off and when I turned it back on it said Activation Lock. I have no clue what icloud email is set up with it. Has anyone had this happen?

iPad mini, iOS 10

You may be able to recover your AppleID and associated password here:

https://iforgot.apple.com


Once you have your AppleID, you can reset or change the password here:

https://appleid.apple.com


If you cannot identify and regain access to your AppleID, then resetting the Activation Lock will not be possible. If you have the original receipt showing the serial number - to prove that you are the owner - if you visit your local Apple Store, they might be able to help.
