There is a fair chance the iPhone may have been pre-owned ~ and not

new. That would explain some previous Apple ID user name + password.


Return it to the retailer for a refund or exchange; it was not readied for sale

if sold intentionally as pre-owned/used or un-official refurbished model.

If it is on Activation lock, take the device, the original purchase receipt, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store.

or contact Apple ID Support. They will need to see the receipt also.

Check the App Store and iTunes Store to see if there are any updates for apps/purchases. A request for an old Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the old ID. Those purchases are tied to the old ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the old ID and download them using the new ID if desired.


If that doesn't work, contact Apple ID Support using the links posted above.
