Return it. That phone is likely activation locked as well.

IOS 16.2 Passcode lockout - Security Lockout - Recover Data After the IOS 16.2 update my passcode no longer worked on my phone and is now in "Security Lock" after too many attempts. The Iphone hadn't done a backup in months and I have a ton of critical data on the phone for my job that could potentially cost me my job if I can't get it back. Talked to apple support and the only option they can offer is wiping and starting from scratch. Seems to me if the update caused my passcode to change there should be more support from apple to rectify the issue. Any suggestions or third party apps available to recover data would be much appreciated.

Need to unlock iPhone when syncing with Mac Now days, I have to unlock my iPhone by entering my passcode every time I connect a lightning cable and sync it with my Mac … and I could swear that I didn't used to have to do that. Has something changed, or am I misremembering? Anyone know how to get the iPhone and Mac to trust one another permanently?

Even you restore the phone, the password may be gone but you still can’t get pass the activation lock so if you want to get pass the activation lock, ask the owner to iCloud unlock it and remove from their account.
