My iPad

[Phartone]

A friend of mine died and his family gave me his iPad but the phone keeps telling me to activate using the owners email address. Is there any thing I can do to activate my new iPad

you'll need to get access to the owner's email account to click the activation link then.
if you know the email address then you can try the forgot password option. if you're lucky, the person would've used a phone number / email address which you can get access to as the recovery option

If not? Does it mean it's also as dead as the owner may his soul rest in peace?

All the iTunes stuff didn't get to work. Is there a way to hard reset it to factory settings?

you're probably using an out-dated version of iTunes
