Hello there, Ark.
It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

How do I recover lost user name and password

I cannot log in to eprinter I forgot my user name and password. how can I resolve the problem?

Try using the forgot password link when you are on the sign in screen. The username is always the email address you registered with, so put your email in and it should send a password reset link. If you have multiple email addresses and dont remember which one you used try this with each email until you get a reset link.

On hotmail firefox no longer remembers my user name and password because I let someone else use my computer and he went to hotmail with a different usr name and password...

he said firefox asked him if he wanted to sign in with a different user name and password and he said yes and since then firefox will not remember my user name and password for hotmail....

How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?

I changed my user name and password in Itunes, when I use my phone or Ipad, it askes for the password for the old username password it says it's invalid. I try to delete the Icloud account but it won't let me- Help

I changed my username and Password in Itunes on my computer. Now when I use my Iphone, Ipad, it asks for the password for the old username. when I type the password for that old user name, it says it's invalid. I figured I needed to delete the old Icloud account from my Iphone and Ipad, but they ask for the old password for the Old username. I type it in and it says invalid. As of now, I can't use Icloud or Itunes on either the Ipad or Iphone.... Help!

If the old ID ("username") is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have just changed my user name and password but it has not changed for iTunes/ apple - any suggestions

My iTunes user name is incorrect. I have recently changed it successfully but it hasn't changed for iTunes/apple. Any suggestions?

If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

HT2518 how do you know your user name and password?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to move data from my PC over to my new iMac. It wants a name/password. Everything I've tried (which I've always used) doesn't work...???!!! Help! How do I find out my name/password for Migration assistant????

Password for the Mac. It is trying to write to the Mac hard drive in an area that is restricted and only access by typing in the Mac Admin password.
Or at least that is how I see it.
Good Luck.
PS:
Migration assistant really doesn't work. Even when it looks like it is working it leave you with unintended consequences.
Also there is Nothing on your Windows PC that the Mac can use. No programs or settings. The only thing you can use on the Mac from Windows are your presonal files, Music, images and office data files.
So it is easier to just copy them over to the Mac then using MA, as you may have found out.

New user name and password

I want to get the new skype, but want to change my user name and password. How do I get it and change my info?

If you mean create a new iTunes account then you can do so directly on the iPad via Settings > Store - if an account is currently logged in then tap on it and log out of it (any apps and/or other content that your mother downloaded from her account will remain tied to her account).
If you don't want to give credit card details when creating an account then follow the instructions on this page : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method

Need User Name and Password for External Firewire new hard drive

In the past, I've worked with two 250 GB PATA drives in my G4, one inside and one in an external Firewire enclosure. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy and maintain all system and user files from the internal drive to the external drive. The external drive would boot just fine. These two drives were both partitioned with 74.5 and 158.4 GB partitions with the system files on the smaller.
The internal drive died so I bought a new 500GB drive and installed it in the external enclosure and moved the former external drive inside the G4.
I again used CCC to copy the system and user files to the new 500GB drive.However, I only gave it one 465.8GB partition. I cannot make the external drive complete the boot process. It stops and demands a user name and a password. I've not been able to supply ones which work.
I have remembered and entered the user name and password which were installed when I partitioned the 250 GB drives years ago. The window thinks a few seconds and then shakes back and forth and then clears the data entry boxes so that I can try again.
I do have an Install DVD for Tiger 10.4 (bought from Apple) and have been able to use that to go back and change the root or administrator password and the User password on the computer. That has not solved my problem.
I have read about 25 pages of this forum and not seen any posts that referred to password problems with only the external hard drive. But I've seen some very knowledgeable answers to other people's posts.
Please help.
Gil

Generally, when Mac OS X is asking you for a username and password, it is when you are doing something that requires an Administrator password, such as repairing a hard drive's Directory or making major changes to quasi-System things.
So Carbon Copy Cloner and Disk Utility are likely asking for an Administrator user_id and password. It will not take a simple carriage return as an answer -- the operation will not complete without that Admin authorization.
If you are among the \[estimated five or six] people who actually read the manual and followed the advice to use a non-admin password for your day-to-day computer work, you may not even remember the Admin username and password.
If you have an Installer CD, you can boot to the Installer CD and choose Reset Password off the Installer menu (10.3 and earlier) or the Utilities menu (10.4 and later). There is also an Installer-compatible version of Disk Utility there, and while booted from the CD is an ideal Time to Repair your main Hard Drive, while it is not being used for booting the System.

YouTube Template User Name and Password

Tried using the YouTube batch template. I got the advisory that compressor failed because it did not have a YouTube user name and password. I can't find instructions on how to include that info. Any suggestions.
Thanks
Kent

Remember, that when you use the Batch Templates you need to select the job in the Batch window to load the job (not the target) into the Inspector so that you can access the Job Actions. From there you'll be able to input your YouTube (or MobileMe) account information.

HP 8600 User Name and password

HP service is not good. I need to find/reset my user name and password...wont allow me to scan to email...how do this?

Hello tfurey58,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
If you would like to reset the user name and password on the printer, the easiest way to do this would be to Restore Network Defaults on the printer.
From the home screen on the printer, use the right arrow key and go to the Setup menu. Navigate to the Network Menu and then scroll down the menu until you see Restore Network Defaults. Follow the prompts to restore the network. Once it is complete, you will then need to go through the Wireless Setup Wizard.
You will be prompted to in put a user name and password once again to gain connection to the network.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
