Is this a Used Mac?

If so, and you cannot sign in, then you need to have the person currently sign in to iCloud on it sign out on iCloud. Once they signed out, your need to restart the device, and then sign yourself in. Elsewise, it is useless to you. Go to: System Preferences, and click the name on the top left.
