It is not possible to bypass activation lock. Return the device for a refund.

Activation Code I bought my phone from someone a few years back when the iphone 7 came out. I have had this problem for a while and I cannot find out how to get this activation code off. The previous owner is nowhere to be found and I can't use it. My new phone is broken and I need my old 7 to work.
