How do you unlock the Activation Lock on an ipad when you don't know required Apple id or Password

Don't remember the Apple id or the Apple Password I used when I purchased it over 5 years ago. I was playing Angry Birds when all of sudden the screen printed on the ipad, server not connected and then printed Activation Lock is locked. How do I unlock; I've been trying for two weeks.

If you are the owner of the iPad that is locked by iCloud activation lock, you can use this way to solve the issue. Apple will unlock iCloud activation lock without passwords for you under the specific circumstance: Show your purchasing proof and packaging box to Apple that you are the owner of the iPhone. You can show your receipt.

During the checks, Apple will also see if the iPad has been reported as stolen or missing. If it has, Apple won't help. If you cannot prove you are the rightful owner, Apple will also refuse to unlock it.

Therefore, as possible as you can, show all the proof that you are the owner and have the full right to the iPad. After that, you'd better make an appointment before going to the App store.

Usually, Apple would help you remove the activation lock for free if you bought iPhone from the official way. But if you bought a used iPad online, asking Apple may not help.

SOURCE: how do I unlock a locked up ipad?

If you've got a locked up iPad app or otherwise misbehaving iPad, and want to reboot / reset your iPad, simply hold the sleep and home buttons together until the iPad restarts.
You'll see the shutoff slider come up first, but just keep holding. The screen will go blank and the Apple logo will reappear as the iPad reboots.
Note: this does not reset any data on your iPad. This is just a restart, equivalent to rebooting your computer.

Don't remember password for ipad

You don't need to know your password for the iPad. As long as you know the password for your iTunes account, you used to setup the account on the iPad for. Connect the iPad with the computer and open iTunes and give in the password for the iTunes account. Apple will unlock the iPad and you can setup a new pass code for the iPad.
When you forgot your iTunes password, you have to contact Apple and prove you are the legal owner of the account.
