Can't get passed activation screen on iphone?

I bought an iPhone 4s off of kijiji and I can't activate it as it is locked to a different carrier. (it is locked to AT&T and I would like to use it with Fido. When I put my sim card in the phone it takes a long time to load and then tells me to connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes it loads for a while as well and then says: " We're sorry, we're unable to continue with your activation at this time." I'm assuming this is because my phone is locked to AT&T and i'm trying to activate using a Fido sim card. However, how do I get into the phone to unlock it?

You need to maybe take it to the shop to get it unlocked
