    Read this first

    it will explain Activation lock

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

     

    The only way to unlock them is to have the original owner to release them ,as explained in the above document

    The iPhones may have been stolen or the donors intended you to be left with a brick

     

    There is no solution .Apple will NOT unlock them ,it is an anti theft device and since it was introduced with iOS 7 from the posts here it will be very successful at making stolen iPhones useless

    You own fancy paper weights. There is no way past the activation lock. You should have records of who you purchased them from. Contact them. If you can't, or if they can't or won't release the locks, turn the over to the police. They're probably stolen.
