So my iPad randomly "activation locked" itself

was reading some TD last night when it locked itself. I was literally just browsing the web when it randomly appeared to reset then this activation lock screen popped up. I thought it was an automatic update buy it says its triggered by using "find my iPhone". I don't have an iPhone or any other apple devices. I never use my apple ID or email. I am unable to unlock the iPad because its telling me I have the incorrect username/password. Did someone get my info and change the password or something? Is there any way for me to hard reset the iPad?

Did you buy a used iPad? Probably stolen if you did.
BTW Find my iPhone works on iPads, Macs, Apple watches and iPods as well. It can even be activated using any iCloud interface, I believe.

That's what it sounds like. Go to iCloud.com and try to sign in.

Once a device is locked with Find My iPhone it can't be used again unless you unlock it with Find My iPhone. Wiping the iPad completely will not help you, as after it's wiped it will connect to Apple before you can use it and it will remain locked out.
