I have 3 - 1st generation iPads. Model No. A1474.

I bought several iPad's at a police auction. The first one I checked say's "Activation Lock"

Question: Is there any way to unlock it? I am unable to locate the previous owner.

Take them and proof that you got them from a police auction to a physical Apple Store. At least one person has gotten other units unlocked.
