"I work for an E-Waste company and a client threw out a perfectly good iPad 2 Air and their Apple ID is still logged into the device, which is preventing me from doing a factory reset. I'd like to give the iPad to my son, but I don't want all this person's content on the iPad. Is there a way to circumvent this? Thanks!"
