I purchased 2nd hand phone that is supposedly for my daughter. it is an iphone 6. i checked the phone status using the IMEI if it is stolen, but the data said the it was not reported as stolen. My bad that I did not check if it has no activation lock. unfortunately it is lock. my problem now is, I cannot be able to contact the seller since I just bought it from Facebook marketplace. Any help will be appreciated on how to solve my problem. thanks

If you are the owner of the iPhone or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you are not the owner of the iPhone and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password to you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.
