I recently bought an iPad from a thrift store that looks like it was used in a school. It was a great deal, but now I'm facing a problem. After trying to factory reset it multiple times, I keep encountering a Remote Management screen during setup. The only option I have is to "Enroll this iPad," which I can't do since I don't have access to the original owner's account. Is there any way to bypass this restriction? I really want to use this iPad as it's in excellent condition, but this is a major hurdle.

Just to echo what others have said, without the original admin access, there's really no legal way to get past the MDM lock. It's best to return it or see if you can exchange it for a different device.
Nope, there's no shortcut here. If it was originally a school device, the only way to clear the lock is through them. Such a bummer because they really do hand out some sweet deals at thrift shops sometimes!
