OK......try the steps in this link: If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support


If this doesn't help, use the Contact Support button at the top of this page, or visit your Apple Store Genius Bar.

That's not Activation Lock but is asking for a four or six digit number you created to lock the device.


If either of those is not what you're seeing, what are you seeing? A photo might help (but don't include your ID).
