Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I bought an iphone 6 and it has Activation Lock. I bought it in a pawn shop, the owner is not easily track down. I checked if it was reported stolen or missing, it's clean. How can I get the Activation lock disabled and icloud removed?

you will need to contact the previous owner to have them log out of iCloud or go to https://www.icloud.com/find/ My Phone and erase the device, then remove it from their account. If you can’t do that, the device is useless.
