    If it is your iPhone and not locked to the previous owner, you can follow the steps in the link below.

    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Changing Apple ID & Apple Store Login in iOS

    This can be done directly on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The first step is to log out:

    1. Open the Settings app in iOS and head to “iTunes & App Store”
    2. Tap on the “Apple ID: email@address.com” text at the very top of the Store screen
    3. At the Apple ID management pop-up window, tap on “Sign Out”

     

    This logs out of the existing Apple ID, leaving the Apple ID sign in screen blank. Now, you can choose either option:

    • Log in to another Apple account that already exists by entering the appropriate login details at that screen, OR
    • Create a new Apple ID by tapping on the “Create New Apple ID” button, which automatically logs in with the new Apple ID when finished
