Only the old owner can remove their ID. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft protection system. Unless the previous owner releases the phone it cannot be used by anyone other than that owner. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what the owner of an iPhone should do before selling or otherwise disposing of the phone.


For more information on Activation Lock see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
