I reset my used iphone 5 and its registered to a apple id?

I bought a used iphone tonight and i reset it, but when i went to set it up, it was registersed to the previous owners apple id.

Not good.

You may be able to contact the service provider or choose one(If it was unlocked) and they could walk you through resetting it. The only issue is whether that was a contract iPhone or prepaid. Many companies now might not reset the phone if it was still under contract, or worse was reported stolen.

  • Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
  • Master reset my iPhone 4 last night and its still not done? I erased all my data and settings last night because I'm selling it today. When I reset it, it went to the apple logo and then to the spinner that comes up when it dies. I can't hard reset it because the lock button is stuck.iTunes nor my MacBook will recognize it so I can't try to fix it through iTunes. I tried connecting it to my wall charger as well, nothing. Still spinning 8 hours later… And I've read it's supposed to only take 15 mins at most.
