You need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPhone.
This is a security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. There is no
workaround.

i was using it as ipad i dont want to go for unlocked i just restored it for fixing some problems now i have not been able to activate it
I have tried to activate it over Wi-Fi.
I connect it to Itunes but I am not getting the option to activate it.
Is there a sim in the iPhone? There has to be a sim for activation to complete.
The sim does not have to be associated with an active account; but if the
iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that wireless
provider.
If there is an error message, what is the complete wording of that error message?
But it doesn't accept the sim because it is factory locked. i have tried with sim card but it says invalid sim.;
Then you will have to get a SIM from the carrier it's locked to. That, or arrange with the carrier it's locked to to get it unlocked. There's no way around this.
i was having an error when opended any application e.g facebook, whatsapp, viber, skype etc. "connect iTunes to push the noticfication. i just go over the google to find the solution there was kind of instruction if you go for restore you iphone the problem should be fixed then i restored it and now am not getting any option to activate it. asking sim or some time says couldn'y activate because can not reached the server. try connect to iTunes or try after couple of minutes. no i wonder how can i reactivate it without sim or unlocked
You are going to have to get a Sim from the carrier the iPhone is locked to. Without that you cannot activate the iPhone.
i have cheked online but don't know why they are asking too much for unlocking. I really had no idea about the charges they asked. any help
Well you need to understand that the carrier an iPhone is locked to has normally subsidized its cost originally. If you have fulfilled a (usually) two year contract with them, they might be willing to unlock the iPhone without any additional cost. However, if that is not the case they might want to recover some of that subsidy if the user wants to unlock the iPhone without having a contract with them or before the required amount of time.
You don't say if you have been looking at your carrier's charges or at any other unlocking site. Please note that your carrier is the owner of the lock and any attempt to unlock the iPhone, other than by this carrier, is an unauthorized modification of the iPhone and could create further problems for your iPhone.
Rojmer, Can you please tell the process that how to connect with carrier owner or any particullar to unlock it?
you must contact that particular carrier. Use Google to find out contact details.
If you do not know which carrier the iPhone is locked to, then contact Apple Care and they might be able to tell you the name of that carrier.
Look at this link at click on your country's name to find ways to connect with Apple Care.
