Afraid not mate , depending on what iOS u have installed u can back up your device ( not in your case as screen needs to be unlocked ) plug Into PC hold top button and center button for 20 seconds while connected to iTunes and follow prompts
If you bought a second-hand iPhone/iPad stuck on the activation lock screen and don't know the previously used Apple ID and password, iMyFone iBypasser can help you activate iPhone/iPad without Apple ID. This excellent tool came out in 2020 and has helped many users who reset their own iPads without logging out the previously used Apple ID.
Hey! sorry but you will need to enter that appleID password to reactive the iPad. If you still have the original receipt you can call apple and have them start the recovery process.
Put ipad back to default settings. Settings menu--This will erase everything on the iPad so you can start as a new user. It will erase original users saved info so you can input yours
You can try this: Go to Settings. Under Settings, scroll down to General. Click on that. Under General, scroll down to Reset. Click on that. That will open several lines of choices. The second one is "Erase all content and settings" - however, I have not ever tried this, so it's possible you will need the previous owner's Apple ID and password to complete this step. I would suspect you will, because Apple is very serious about security. So you may need to either contact the owner and get the ID and password, or your other option, as you said, is factory reset, which may be your only way out.
