The question is why is it disabled? Mesentery of a passcode? Only resolution is to use the recovery mode to restore it with a computer running iTunes per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and in summary:

You might try taking it to an Apple store genius bar and see if they will help you. But this does sound like a less than legal device so good luck with them.

There are a few scenarios here:


  1. You purchased a legitimate device from someone who forgot to disable Activation Lock

    Talk to the seller, tell them they forgot to disable activation lock, see if they will disable it.

  2. You purchased a stolen device from someone and should go to the police.
  3. Its not activation lock but a IMEI or ESN that is blocked by the carrier because the phone is stolen
  4. It is a password you need for the phone it self you can fix that by going here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
