Hello,


If your iPhone 6s Plus has an actvation lock, it means the previous owner’s Apple account is still linked to the device. Unfortunately, there is no legitimate way to bypass it without the owner’s credentials.


Try contacting the original owner or contacting Apple support with proof of purchase.


I hope you are able to resolve your problems.
