Oct 2, 2016 6:46 AM in response to butcher7711by Lawrence Finch,★HelpfulIf you enabled Find my iPhone using the old Apple ID then the phone is permanently disabled unless you can recall the password. This is Activation Lock, a theft deterrent measure. There are several ways to get help recovering the password, starting with https://iforgot.apple.com, then contacting Apple's Account Security Team: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Your other option, if you purchased the phone new, is to take the original receipt and the phone to an Apple store and they can remove Activation Lock. But you have to prove that you are the original owner.
But if none of these work you will never be able to use that phone again.
