If this device is new to you, contact the seller and request they remove Activation Lock, or refund your purchase.


If the seller has disappeared and as is all too common, this device will never be useful to you. You got scammed.

If this is your device, you’ll need to regain access to your Apple Account holding the lock, or to provide convincing proof of ownership (such as the original purchase receipt from Apple or from an Apple authorized reseller) to Apple to request its removal.
