Apple ID lock issue I just bought an Ipod Touch 5th generation and it is Apple ID locked. I do not have the contact of the original owner or the receipt it came with. Is there any way to bypass or add my apple id to this product?

Apple iPod touch 6 generation I have a question, I bought second hand an Apple iPod 6 generation off an app called Mercari but the iPod has activation lock on it, I called Apple and they told me I needed their original purchase information and where they might have purchased it, I asked them but they don’t know, how do I go about getting the old Apple ID off the iPod so I can start using it?! Frustrated! thank you in advance! Michelle

iPod 5 activation lock is asking for my old Apple ID Dear community! Recently I changed my Apple ID. For some reason I ended up in the activation lock screen on my iPod 5th generation (2014). It is asking for the Apple ID that I used to set up the iPod, which I do not have anymore. Does anybody know how to update it? Thanks in advance. Cris [Re-Titled by Moderator]
