What if I bought this iPad on Let go and the previous owner is no longer reachable so I can't ask them for help with the activation lock.?

Hard resetting, restoring to factory, nothing at all will get you out of Activation Lock. You cannot bypass Activation Lock, the only way to remove Activation Lock is for the previous owner to remove it. That is the way it is, I'm sorry.
