Restored iphone 4s but now stuck on activation screen?

Recently purchased an iphone 4s off someone. I restored it with itunes but now its saying I have to put in the owners Apple ID to activate, If there's anyway to get past this ill do it! Just throw you idea's at me guys and make my night. Thank

The only way to get past it is to put in the actual owner's Apple ID.

If the person you bought the phone from can't/won't remove it, then it's a lost/stolen phone and you won't be able to activate it.

You are stuck. This can ONLY be done by the original owner who put IN the password, remembering it and using it again to unlock the phone for you. Someone along the line is lying - this phone is lost or stolen.

Your friend should have restored and erased the iPhone before he handed it to you. You'll have to ask him/her what his/her Apple ID and password were and ask them to remove it from their account.
