To make sure I’m understanding this correctly … Someone gave you an iPhone 13. And it seems the phone is still locked to the previous owner. And you cannot unlock it, despite the fact that the previous owner gave you a code. If this is correct, return the phone and ask the previous owner to follow the steps in the link below. One they do that you will be able to set it up with your own Apple ID:
