How do I get rid of activation lock on my iPad but I don't have access to the Apple ID that was used for it? I have an iPad that was given to me and hasn't been used in a while, so it has activation lock. So I went to TRY and recover the account that was used to sign in but when I tried, it said "account disabled." It told me to enter an email that was linked to that apple ID, but the problem is I had no other email linked to it. So now I'm stuck on the activation lock screen. I tried to find the webpage where you could ask Apple support to help you remove the activation lock, but I couldn't find it. So now I'm not even sure if the apple store near me could help. So basically, My iPad is stuck in activation lock, I can't get the old apple id back because it's really old, and I have no way to bypass the activation lock. And even if apple could help me with it, I would need to prove ownership. But I have no absolute idea where the receipt is, or any type of proof to show since it's been recently passed to me.

See especially the last sentence of the area I highlighted.

Thanks for the help, I bought it from Best Buy which does not put the serial number on the receipts, but supposedly best buy support will be able to remove it for me.

Yes, that’s certainly the right approach.

Good luck!
