If this were just the app… Delete the app and re-download, and it’ll be under your Apple ID.


If the transfer of ownership from their Apple ID to yours was never performed, then this isn’t the only issue that will arise.

If you don’t have that password—and don’t have proof of original purpose—you won’t be able to clear Activation Lock, or the rest of the issues.
