Contact the original owner of the iPhone and get the Apple ID and Password that was used to activate the Activation Lock. You are not going to be able to use this iPhone without removing the Activation Lock.


If you are the original owner of that iPhone and you need help removing Activation Lock and have proof of purchase documentation, you can 👉 start an Activation Lock support request.
