    Not on your own; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.

    If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)
