Do I have an old iPad 2 that wifey has used but has now upgraded to an an Air.

Somehow it has an old iCloud ID on it that we no longer use and have the email associated with it is also gone (O2 mail). Whats more the personal details are incorrect so I can't recover the password.

I have tried to restore the iPad to default so I can get rid of that iCloud ID but because"find me iPad" is turned on I can't

So any ideas? I know it is like this to help/security but its a bh and I can't find a way round it

Cheers
Mike

We took ours to an Apple Store who restored it to default IIRC.

Lolled at their website, got the 2 reviewers names transposed. Schoolboy error.
