Is there anyway of unlocking an iPad if none of the owners details are available? I have found a few places that claim to be able to offer some software that you can download, but obviously I am wary of such things.

I have a few here, one of which I think is a nearly new Pro model, and seems a shame if they are useless.

Tried the reset, but without the original owners Apple account that set the iPad up it won't allow any access.

I've looked down all the usual routes and suggestions, but wondered if someone new of a tried and tested way.

I knew the how question would come up.

I having been helping my dad clear my uncles house. Who by all accounts is probably the biggest recluse you will ever come by, who also happens to be an alcoholic. His days typically would consist of browsing the internet and getting pi$$ed. He would forget his details and get locked out. Rather than doing what any normal person would do, he would just order a new one.

He's since had a massive stroke and is now in a care home and probably not coming back out. So, seems a shame to just bin these when they're probably in perfectly good working order.
