Troubleshooting Unknown Credentials:


A. Request a Refund:

Seems you've been scammed, though a full assumption on my part. So, ask this person for a refund. This is the site they should have used prior to selling it to you: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade In your Apple Watch, or Buy One from Someone Else - Apple Support. The seller should have known better.


B. Learn from This:

Next time you go about purchasing a device from someone, request that they let you log into your own iCloud account on it, prior to handing over the money. If they decide to disabled by those rules you've set forth, then do not proceed with the transaction.


C. Where was this Purchased?:

If this was purchased off of a Web site (i.e. eBay), or at a thrift store(i.e.), then contact the site or ask speak with the store manager, respectively.
