Can't get into phone ..

So I've talked to a few of the apple "help" people to help me get into this phone I was just given , but no luck.. my phone's stuck on activation lock and I can't access or set up my new phone at all, would just like to finally be able to get into my phone .. I don't understand why it's been so difficult ..?and if it's even possible to unlock and access this phone still?

ONLY the owner of the iCloud account used to lock it can remove the activation lock.


Talk to whoever you got the phone from. It is not possible to bypass the activation lock.

Activation lock is an anti-theft feature.
