Activation Lock?


If so, Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally difficult to bypass. We can’t help, and Apple—absent sufficiently-convincing proof of ownership—won’t help.


If you purchased the iPhone used, contact the seller to clear Activation Lock, or for a refund. If the seller has disappeared as is all too common, the iPhone is probably lost or stolen, and you got scammed.
