No, not unless you were the original owner.


"Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch" is a security feature, one aspect of which is deterring re-selling of stolen devices. To learn more click here --> http://support.apple.com/HT201365


An activation lock can only be removed using information for the account that applied the lock. If you know this information click on this link to learn 'How to remove Activation Lock' --> https://support.apple.com/HT201441
