Got an old ipad

I got an old ipad and the original owner deleted it from his devices but on the set-up it is on activation lock with his apple ID. I cannot use my own. Any ideas on getting past this?

Thanks,

Melissa

His removal of it didn't get processed properly. Tell him to click here and submit an unlock request.

activation help for ipad a friend of mine gave me his old iPad but it is giving me an activation lock screen. I asked him to remove it from his iTunes account so I could do a factory reset. He looked on his iTunes account and says it is not linked. Any idea how to get around this so I can reset it?
