Hello, I recently bought a refurbished Apple Watch from Amazon and when I tried to set it up, it says there was an activation lock. What do I do?
Return it and get your money back. There is no way to bypass the activation lock. It’s useless.
It's a good thing you got it from Amazon! Many places you get these "refurbished" watches disappear after you buy them.
