So I found this ipad that has activation lock but isn't reset and i dont know the password because i found it. I was wondering if it was possible for me to restore it so i can use a method to remove activation lock when it's on the hello activation screen without updating it to ios 18, which the method is patched in. Pretty much what im trying to say if it's confusing is that is there a method to restore my ipad on ios 14.1 without updating it? Ipad specs are ipad 7th gen, wifi and cellular compatible (i dont care if i lose cellular connectivity), ios 14.1, has activation lock, and is stuck on the password screen. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I for some reason can't figure out how to put in playlists into rockbox to listen to. I have an ipod nano 2nd gen with 8gb of storage set up with I think rockbox 4.0. I have the .m3u files ready but when I click a song in the "Playlists" tab it just shows the song name and creator, the time just stays at 0:00 and it says the song is 0:00 minutes long. I have all the music in a folder called "music". Is it supposed to be on the root of the drive or somewhere else? I have my .m3u files in the playlist folder if that helps at all. Any help is appreciated, thanks a bunch!
