How can I unlock a device that was previously owned?

I work at a hospital and I was given an iPhone for work related issues but I am not able to unlock it as the previous user did not leave her password.

How to remove Activation Lock -> How to remove Activation Lock – Apple Support (UK)


You can also contact Apple support for help, -> Get Support (apple.com)

You have to show proof of ownership of your product, provide all documentation showing your purchase of the device.

If you do not have additional proof of ownership, contact the reseller. They may be able to provide the original purchase document.

Once Apple receive your proof of ownership, Apple will further review your request and provide an update.
