hello! I need help with a " iPhone locked to owner "

hi! im 15 my mom bought a iPhone 11 off a lady. she never logged out her own stuff and I got stuck with having to try and find out her password to her iCloud every time we texted her for it she'd lie about the password and her changing it. I restarted the whole phone when my sister spammed my passcode in. now Im stuck on " iPhone locked to owner "

The person you bought it from needs to remove it themselves. Ask them to file the steps Remove Activation Lock on the web at How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support


If they cannot or refuse to there is nothing you can do yourself but try and request to return it to her for a refund.
