help with 2nd hand ipod 6 touch

 You need to be able 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. Apple won't unlock it.

Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support.      

You acquired your device second hand from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller. The following information explains what has happened. You apparently didn't know to heed the advice given below.

"Before you buy/acquire an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, make sure that the device is erased and no longer linked to the previous owner’s account."

And see: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365.

See this heading Check for Activation Lock before you buy/acquire a device from someone else.

The presence of activation lock means that we can't help you. We are not authorized to remove the activation lock from any device. And, under your circumstances, Apple support will not remove it since you cannot provide proof of ownership that they will consider to be sufficient. You would need and have your purchase receipt for the device from an authorized Apple seller with the device's serial number on it (which you can't have).* 

All I can suggest is that you try to recovery the needed password (or possibly the purchase price) from the party you acquired the iPhone from or have this person sign out of iCloud; erase the device; and remove it from their device list. Doing one of these things is the only way the phone can be made functional for your use.

You are welcome. Good Luck.
