Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just bought an iPhone 6, it's with a carrier, it's all good but I can't sign into my iCloud on my iPhone, it says "Cannot Sign In - The maximum number of accounts of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." I never added an account and there are no accounts signed in. How can I fix this so I can be logged into my account? My iPhone is updated (iOS 11.3.1) and I tried logging out and back in and resetting but nothing works.
iPhone 6, iOS 11.3.1

Someone has already used up 3 Apple IDs (max.) on the device.
You need to wipe it clean: Restore as new.

If you can't then you have a shiny brick and it will be useless to you.
Is this a used or refurbished iPhone? Someone has used it to create other accounts.
You are only allowed to create three iCloud accounts with any one iOS device. What you can do is create an iCloud account in the internet, and then use the iPhone to sign into that account.
You need to ask the seller to deactivate FMiP with the correct Apple ID & password before you can wipe the iPhone then make it your own, in
Settings > [ owner's name ] > iCloud > Find My iPhone > switch OFF here
No accounts were logged in.
It's a used one, I bought it in a MetroPCS store.
Didn't work for me... 😟
You need to sign into iCloud.com on another device/computer and then you will be able to sign in.
