is there a way I can go around someone’s activation lock? Bought an Apple Watch from a store who had previously sold it to someone else and they didn’t realise the activation lock was on. I cannot contact this previous owner as we have no details. Any ideas?
Without the apple id that activated the lock then there is nothing you can do,return the watch and get your money back.
