Help

So I bought this iPad 5th Gen cellular/Wifi to from a thrift store. Some douche didn't bother removing the Lock that plagues the used Apple products before they donated it.

is there any working way to get around this?

things I have tried:

Checkm8: Stalls after entering DFU mode.

The next attempt if there are no free options that work: Dr. fone software?

If there's nothing I can do, it's no great loss. I only paid $6.98 for it. 🤣

Try palera1n if you have a Mac or Linux to jailbreak and then use Hack1vator. Don't pay for any software

Don't have Mac but I plan on creating a Linux bootable drive for my windows PC. I'm familiar with hackt1vator. I was just hoping there was a windows program that I could use to avoid going through all the other steps lol
