"Apple won't let me to break into an iPad I don't own" isn't as bad as you are trying to make it seem. In other words, why are you surprised that you can't hack into an Apple device?

Because it worked fine last time I used it, it was never locked. I do own it. It was bought outright by me. I later inherited it legally and rightfully.

That's an interesting take on "this non-password-protected, non-LTE iPad that I do own abruptly stopped letting me look at data I was able to see recently."

  It was on the cell network, but it was purchased outright, not under contract. It does sound like the other commenter's theory that the SIM has "gone bad" may be true, but I had no idea this could happen, and I don't see how that makes it any more valid.

    It doesn't make it valid at all. I can still access my Android phone without a SIM card, and in fact I used one on nothing but Wifi as my "landline" for quite a while. The only thing that should break when you remove or damage a SIM card is your ability to connect to a cell network.

    Have you removed the sim?

      That shouldn't have an impact on whether OP can unlock his iPad, and if it does then the iPad and Apple as a whole needs to evaporate into obscurity ASAP.

      I tried removing the SIM, but that did not help.

Are you aware of the concept of inheritance?

  What cryptography are you using that is aware of the concept of inheritance?

    Obviously protocols aren't aware of anything. Humans designed the protocols, however, and are very much aware of such things.

    There was no cryptography on the iPad. Why is everyone insisting this is GP's fault when it's clearly a massive middle finger on Apple's part?

If they were the executor of the estate or heir, then it is their property for liquidation or their own use.
