If it's activation locked, only the owner of the account used to lock it can remove the lock. There is no way to bypass it and Apple will not intervene if you bought it used. Since you say you 'just' bought it, I have to assume you bought it used as it's discontinued.

Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, return it and get your money back. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.

That doesn't change anything. They will need to reset the password and remove the lock. They can try resetting it at https://iforgot.apple.com

If they can't do that, they can try contacting Apple's account security team Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support

If they can't get help that way, they would need to present the phone and the original proof of purchase from an authorized source to Apple to have the lock removed.

If they can't do that, it's a brick.

We have no idea what team you're talking about. If you mean Apple, for the third time, you can get a number to contact Apple with this link: http://www.apple.com/contact


And if your question for "the team" is related to unlocking an iPhone that's activation locked as in your original question (how can i unblock my i phone 5c), Apple will NOT help you. ONLY your "friend" can by resetting his password, logging into iCloud.com, and removing that phone from his account following the instructions given to you. If he doesn't, you need to get a refund or you've wasted your money.


Now please stop posting the same question over and over again, because you'll get the same answer and waste time.
