Ipad 2

Ive inherited my late mothers i pad 2, and i don't have the password for her iCloud account, so its a brick, any ideas other than paying more than its worth for the unlocking software?

If the iPad has Activation Lock on, NOBODY can unlock it. Don't be scammed by anyone saying they can unlock it for you- it won't work.


However, you may be able to get it unlocked (for free) by Apple if you have certain pieces of proof. Even if you don't have enough information to get her data, you may still be able to get it restored.
