Can’t activate my old iPad I’m trying to re activate my old iPad but it’s not accepting my valid Apple ID and password. I had changed my Apple ID email and it’s not allowing me to use the new email address to activate the device. It’s also not recognising my old user email address either.

If you have the original proof of ownership you may be able to get it released at an Apple Genius bar.
