    Except by getting him to remove it, no. Doing so doesn’t require giving you the password.

    Well, that sounds like bait and switch which is highly illegal. I would recommend that you turn the lowlife thief who sold you what was likely a stolen phone into the police. Did you purchase it via a reputable site like eBay? If so, contact their customer service to help root out this criminal. I'm pretty sure if he is selling on their site, they won't want him anywhere near them....

     

    Do not engage further with this person. The criminal behavior they have already exhibited is a major red flag. Let the authorities deal with this scum.

     

    Best of luck,
