iPhone 6s - Restore/Setup issue

I'm using iPhone 6s. The device got switched off and when I turned it on - the device displays 'set up required'... when I tried set up - am getting activation error. Tried connecting to iTunes and activating, but still am facing the same issue. Please help.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9

Follow these steps

  1. Check the list on the System Status page. If the box by iOS Device Activation isn't green, try to activate your iPhone later.
  2. If asked to enter your password as you activate your iPhone, enter the password. (A password prompt means that Activation Lock might be enabled in Find My iPhone.)
  3. Restart your iPhone.
  4. If you're using a cellular data connection, connect to a reliable Wi-Fi network instead.
