Signing out of an iCloud on a factory reset phone

I've bought an iPhone from someone. But they didn't sign out of their iCloud before they gave it over. But they did factory reset it. How do I bypass the four digit code and iCloud?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

You contact the seller and tell them they need to remove activation lock on the device. If they can't, then the iPhone is useless to you. You will not be able to remove activation lock. How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
