I bought a used Ipad

But now I can't use it because I don't know the Icloud address and password. What can I do

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Nice to meet you, *****!
Are you referring to the passcode on the iPad?

Customer Replay

Nice to meet you , too Not only passcode...

What else?

Customer Replay

When I connect iTunes to the iPad, it takes me to the window with the iCloud address and password. I don't know this and I can't go any further

Is there a way to create new iCloud account?

Customer Replay

Yes, but first, I should remove the old address, which I don't know

To delete an iCloud account without entering the password can follow these simple steps:
Open the Settings and press on iCloud.
When you tap on the iCloud option, you will be asked for the password.
Press 'done' after entering the random number.
Tap on OK and then Cancel.

Customer Replay

It doesn't work because I don't have the entry code at the starting address. I don't have access to the settings. Again, I bought a used Ipad, the seller didn't give me access codes, and now it doesn't answer the phone at all

Okay, you can factory reset it, is that okay?

Customer Replay

That, will be fine
I saw some programs on the net that clear iCloud and I can do a factory reset with them. These programs are paid. Is there anything that is free

Does the iPad have a Home button?

Customer Replay

Jes

Press and hold both the "Home" and the "Top" buttons at the same time.
Keep holding them until you see the recovery-mode screen.
After that, you will see the option to "Restore" or "Update", choose Restore.

Customer Replay

I know that way to get to iTunes

What do you mean?

Customer Replay

It is ok, wait foe a momment...I would like to sand you a Picture

That is the problem...
It does not accept my address and password

Can you contact the person from who you bought the iPad and ask for it?

Customer Replay

he doesn't answer the phone at all

Unfortunately, there is no other way out.

Customer Replay

I saw some programs on the net that clear iCloud and I can do a factory reset with them
Do you agree with them...Is it possible?

I am not sure about those programs as we are not familiar ith them, but you can try if you wish.
Cannot guarantee anything as of now.
