Hi, i am new to this iphone 4 and purchased it from craigslist guy with out any password on it but when i came home the itunes app asked me to put davindersihota@icloud password which i neverhave so i contact the seller to give me the password

Question

I asked the guy to give me the password then he dissclosed that it was not his phone and he purchased from another  brown guy and that he will contact him the second day he told me, he didnot have the phone number off that guy and i ask him to send an email to that email address ,but he replied no one is answering from this email account .so then i tried to restore the phone with itunes and after restoring the phone is asking to put the password for that [email protected] help me because i called apple but they didnot help me,i understand that this features is for security of i phone users in ios7  updates but what about loyal people who sold their item with out knowing these  features  or the person who is purchasing this item dont know that it has been protected by password. Apple must figure out some thing for their loyal customers to give them the phone number  or email regarding that original phone owners ,or see if the phone is not reported as stolen so in this way they should help to activate that phone .I hope Apple will help people and not to be mean with customers.Thanks for reading is message.

Answer 1

You need the password of the iCloud account/Apple ID that was used to originally set up the phone. That is the activation lock/anti theft feature in iOS 7. There is no way to get around that, except by using the password.
The original seller should have disabled it, but did not. if the seller is unable or unwilling to give you the information rerquired to unlock your phone, the the phone is probably stolen. That is why you have anti theft features in the phone; to avoid a situation similar to yours.
Your phone is worthless. Sorry.
