I’ll assume this is Activation Lock, not remote management. This iPhone is effectively lost or stolen, and only the original purchaser with the purchase receipt and matching ID and a visit to Apple, or the user holding the password to the Apple ID account holding the lock, can release the theft-deterrent Activation Lock.


If you don’t have the password to the matching Apple ID, and if the seller is no longer available to accept a return or refund or to remediate this, turn that iPhone into the police. Or back into the company holding the lock.
