Talk to whoever you got it from. Only the owner of the account used to lock it can remove the activation lock.

There is no way to bypass it.

Unknowingly bought a Locked IPhone 11 The guy that sold it to me was a friend for over 20 years. I trusted him but he sold me a phone that I can't use. It's an IPHone 11 on AT&T, it's locked and unpaid for. What are my options? Am I just out of $350?
