Activation Lock I just bought an iPhone 11 Pro for $400 from marketplace. I just tried to set the phone up but it’s asking for a iCloud and password for it and says “Activation Lock” I’m not sure what this means but I tried contacting the guy I bought it from and he seems to have blocked me. Does anyone know how I can get this removed? This is so upsetting to me
