Activation lock on my old ipad.

My old ipad has the activation lock on it and i cant remember the email/ id that i used when i was younger and in a different country. I might know the password but i tried everything for the possible id and nothing seems to work. How can activate it again?( I dont mind losing all the content on it )

Without the AppleID and passcode associated with the Activation Lock, it cannot be deactivated.


This page will help you to reset your AppleID password - and potentially “lookup” your forgotten AppleID:

I hope you find this to be helpful in resolving the problem.
