Hi. So today i will buy iphone 12 that is locked because of icloud. I hope there is a way to reset the phone so i can use it.
i dont know if its stolen, i hope not.
Here is what the seller would need to do:
… What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the seller cannot or does not do that procedure, it’s stolen, or is as good as stolen, and will be useless to you.
This case unfortunately happens a whole lot and folks buy themselves “bricks”, too:

No, not without the Apple ID and password it's expecting. Activation Lock is an Anti-Theft mechanism.
If the seller will to or can not unlock it, then return it and demand a refund, you will never be able to use it.
Don’t buy it. If you don’t know who set up the activation lock, you will never be able to use it.
Never buy an Apple device with Activation Lock enabled. If you cannot verify that Activation Lock has been removed then don’t pay for the device.
