(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); so I bought a Iphone 5s but it is already linked to an apple id account is there anyway to bypass this and start over, because now I have a phone that is useless unless I can get past activation screen.

As in it says this "phone has been locked by ____" please enter your Apple ID password screen?

yes exactly how do you bypass that and make it start all over without having that apple ID?

You can't it's never been fully figured out .. It's happen to me many times.. I buy and sell phones but now I know when I go to buy a phone to always pop a sim in and make sure it isn't locked.

Only option is to contact apple about it. They should help great customer support

May have a fix lemme know if it works


-Just but the iPad in Dfu mode. Hold down the home and power button for 15 seconds connected to the iTunes. iTunes will detect an iPad in recovery mode. Restore the iPad this will delete all the content in the iPad making it like a brand new device. Once it's finished you can sign in with your apples and use iCloud etc.
