Hi PedroGomesReis,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. How I can see your activation lock on your iPad I'm sorry to hear about that. But without a recipe, the Apple customer team cant remove the activation lock from your iPad if you don't have a recipe of your device with a serial number on the recipe. The reason is a security that someone cant stole your iPad.

I'm sorry about that.


Best regards,

Ladislav
