The iPad must be tied to an Apple ID it can’t work otherwise.


If you can access the iPad, you can go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all content and settings.

If you can’t then the only way to erase it is with iTunes or Finder on a PC or Mac.


If may ask for the password for an Apple ID if one is logged in for iCloud and Find My iPad is turned on.
