Locked to Owner means that the phone is still locked to the last person who enabled Activation Lock, the iPhone’s theft deterrent feature. You will never be able to use the phone without the cooperation of that individual.


If it is you who set up Find My (and thus Activation Lock) then you need to enter your Apple ID and password to use the phone.
