You can't bypass activation lock. You've purchased a stolen phone, and now it's a paperweight.

Try hard shut downing it ( hold power and home button ) until you see the iTunes logo. Then plug it into your computer/laptop and restore it. After that everything will be deleted from the iPhone, plus the phone won't be locked any more and the iCloud will be gone. But still you gotta keep careful because it still could be reachable to them…

You can't its there forever it a way people to stop stealing iphones go return it to police you can get caught

You need to get the seller to do it.

You have to contact the owner, otherwise nice paperweight.

It says it still needs a password to delete it because the locate my iPhone thing is on and locked, any way to get rid of this without losing the stuff I just put on the apps I just put on the iPhone? Oh! I do have an iTunes account with a lot of apps I want but I'm afraid to plug it in cause it might think it's not my iPhone.
