[iMore Question]

SO I acquired a ipad 2 from my grandma who passed. I restored it but it says now I need to log into her icloud account. is there anyway of bypassing that and just wiping everything? like can you jailbreak an ipad if it requires the ipad to still be set up and logged into her icloud account?

If it has iOS 7, and you are being prompted for an iCloud/Find my Phone password, the Activation Lock has engaged. In that case, entering the required password is the ONLY way. There is no way to circumvent this process.

So you say your GrandMa owned an iPad 2 before she passed 😕

Sounds like the same iPad 2 purchase at a pawn shop with the pass code in place from the other thread. Sketchy

Regardless of the actual circumstances here, there is no way to get around activation lock, which is probably what you're encountering. Sorry.
