I'm afraid that there's no way to bypass Activation Lock. Without the Apple ID and password you used when you first activated Find My iPhone, the iPad cannot be activated.

Have you tried the Apple ID and password you use to purchase content in iTunes or the App Store?

If you have documented proof that you're the original owner of the iPad Apple may help you.

If you take the iPad and the documentation to an Apple Store they may be able to get your iPhone activated. There's no guarantee that they'll help but it's your only hope.
