While I was browsing on my iPad last night the screen went blank briefly and then the Apple logo came up. Eventually I might have tried to reboot the thing but I'm not sure if I managed that, anyway the screen now shows "Activation Lock" and needs me to enter my Apple ID and Password before I can use it again. There is an "Activation Help" for me to click on where it mentions the possibility of the previous owner using the Find my iPhone facility to link it to his Apple ID. I was given my iPad nine years ago as refurbished from Apple, and never had this trouble before.
Is it OK to just go ahead and enter the required ID and Password, or could it be a scam? Sorry, but to someone that knows so little about the wicked world it seems a reasonable question to ask.
Can anybody help please?
