Jul 14, 2016 4:38 PM in response to ctnnashby Bakhtina,★HelpfulUnfortunately, since this is a security feature, it is not meant to let you use the iPhone. This is called Activation Lock. In the article Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support, it says :
Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock that is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it's ever lost or stolen.
Even if you put the iPhone and recovery and try to factory reset it, if it is in Apple's Activation Lock system, you won't be able to activate the iPhone. I'm sorry.
Unless the seller sold you the iPhone with it's original proof of purchase, in which case you can call Apple and request them to remove the iPhone from the Activation Lock system.
