FYI … NO ONE … not even Apple … can “unlock” the iPad.


It can ONLY be unlocked by correctly entering the passcode. Period.


The best that Apple can do is provide access to the AppleID.


Another possibility


… did your father possibly establish a Legacy Contact?


If so, it can streamline the process already described in link at Demo’s post.
