Hello ~ Well….you have a problem…that device has an activation lock in place. You must contact the person you bought it from and see if they can/will remove the lock. If you can… return it for a refund and if not recycle it responsibly. Neither we nor Apple can help and read the following info especially the section about purchasing a second hand device.
