When you say "operator", I am taking this to mean the "carrier" or "provider" of the cellular service.....correct?
The carrier locks the phone
Only the carrier can remove the lock on the phone
If you purchased a phone from another person and it is carrier locked, you will need to return the phone to the seller so they can have the carrier remove the lock. The carrier will not do this unless they are talking to the customer that established the cellular service.
The carrier will not talk to you.....because you were not the person who established service with the carrier.
If you cannot locate the person who sold you the phone, the carrier will not unlock the phone for you....because you were not the person that established service with the carrier. In a case like this, you have a useless phone that will never work correctly.
Return the phone to the seller for a refund.

You may be referring to 1 of two things:
My recommendation would be to return the device and get your money back. If the seller is no longer available, then it is possible you were scammed. Review the article here about the problems you can experience when purchasing a device from an unknown seller.

If you mean activation lock, you'll need to have the person whose credentials display unlock the device.
