The only way to unlock that iPhone is to have the person who locked it unlock it. This is a strong security feature. Contact the person from whom you bought it. Ask them to unlock it or refund your money. If they will not, then it is likely you purchased a stolen phone. There is nothing you can do with it except send it to Apple to be recycled.
