Unable to factory reset iPad due to Activation Lock requesting my previous Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID to a new Apple ID, but my iPad continues to search for my old Apple ID. I haven't used this iPad for a couple years. I decided the other day to use the iPad, but the Activation Lock prevents me from using the device.
