Trading in a locked iPhone

If a relative gives me an iPhone, but they cannot remember the password so the phone is locked, can I trade it in to purchase a new iPhone?

Hello~ No…otherwise stolen and activation locked iPhones could be traded in. Have them take a look here…

If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support
