Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be turned off:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201441
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, or unless you can secure the cooperation of the previous owner, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. Without documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple won’t assist - and nobody here will be able to help you.
If you are the owner of the AppleID that previously activated the device - and you have forgotten your AppleID or associated password, these can be recovered here:

I did solve the problem by going to open ( find my iPhone) in my new iPad so I see the old iPad on the map, I erase it and remove it from my account, then I turn it off then on and it’s worked they didn’t asked me about the old Apple ID. Thank you for everyone.
Well,
That was a creative, unanticipated way to solve your iPad issue!
Good workaround!
Great Job!
Thank you!
