Question marked as
An iPhone 4S was last sold in 2014, and can run iOS 9 at most. Approximately nothing in the app store will work that far back, and you’ll need to make some manual changes to get Safari somewhat working here.
As for clearing the lock, Activation Lock is intended as a theft-deterrent mechanism. A theft deterrent that is easy to bypass would not be much of a deterrent.
Nobody here in the Apple Discussion Forums can help you clear Activation Lock.
To clear an Activation Lock, you will need the password of the associated Apple ID, or the original purchase receipt and a discussion with Apple Support, or similar proof of ownership.
For Apple to clear the lock, you will have to provide a receipt with proof of original purchase and with matching serial number or IMEI, legal paperwork from an inheritance, or other similar proof of ownership materials.
For recovering access to an Apple ID associated with the Activation Lock:
