No, Chris this this works I had to do this myself so I know for a fact that it will still work. I’ve actually done it several times for family members and friends

Yes, it works, but it's not Activation Lock, the original subject of this thread. If the device is asking for a four or six digit numerical code, this is a passcode, and as you say can be got past by erasing and resetting the device. If however the device is showing a screen like that shown at right, this is Activation Lock and without the required ID and password being supplied by the person who set the lock there is no way whatever of bypassing it. That was the situation the OP found himself in.

There is no practical method. Return the phone, it its useless to you, if you cant return it, dispose of it safely.

Start by talking to whoever you got the phone from and trace it back from there. If you can't do it that way, you can't do it.

Also, don't be surprised if your attempt to 'make' the previous owner unlock it ends up getting you arrested for possession of stolen property.

Apple needs to have some sort of procedure to unlock iPhones if you can prove you are the original owner at least.

And they do have this process. You must call support for it.

You can't. As has been explained in this and other threads, only the person who set the lock can unlock it. There is no other way round this at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.

How can i find previous or orignal owner for this phone sir? So that i can approach him to make it unlock

Basically, I had the same problem as you I had accidentally locked my iPad pro and I was no longer able to get into. All you have to do is hook it up to a computer that has iTunes and completely reset the who thing. ITunes will see the device as being in recovery mode and from there you can unlock the device without jail-braking it of course everything on the device before it being lock will now be lost. I did this myself and it worked successfully

Hope this has helped you.

You can not.

Apple already unlock phones that are provably yours, anything else you want?

Completely different problem.

The OP needs to contact the original owner to remove the activation lock.

You should contact skthoennes @***

Can't be done that way. Unless the pawnbroker received the device with the Activation Lock already turned on, it cannot be turned on after the fact. So, what you are describing are thieves who take the Activation Locked Device to a pawnbroker then go to their insurance to see if they can get a replacement phone claiming it was stolen. All sounds very shady to me.

Bottom line, if the phones you receive are Activation Locked when you receive them, they are useless for you. Follow the instructions to ensure that the device is not Activation Locked by doing the following any time you receive one of these devices as is highlighted below and contained in this support article (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support):

How do I check for Activation Lock before I buy a used device?

When you buy an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device is erased and no longer linked to the previous owner’s account. Follow these steps before you buy the device:

1. Turn the device on and slide to unlock.
2. If the passcode lock screen or the Home screen appears, the device hasn't been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Don't take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it's been erased.
3. Begin the device setup process.
4. After choosing a language, choosing a country or region, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you're asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner isn't present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Don't take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.

You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you're asked to "Set up your iPhone," “Set up your iPad," or “Set up your iPod” the first time you turn it on.

You have to do that each and every time. That is the only way to ensure that the device is not Activation Locked. There are no databases or other services that can make that guarantee.

Best of luck,

GB

You are so right these comments have the rudeness ......

Things are not rude just because you don't agree with them. Activation lock has reduced iOS device thread by as much as 30% in some areas. I know it hurts to hear that you may have been foolish in trying to get a deal on eBay or that you've found a device and want to use it and to be told you can't. But, it's the truth.

I'm about out of patience with people who state here that posters are rude or bullies or trolls or Apple fanboys because they don't immediately agree with whatever the post is.
