Found an iPhone but can't unlock it?

Ok so I found an iPhone a couple days ago and I put my SIM card in it and It took me to a login for this girls/guys Apple ID. Since they set the phone up under there Apple ID, I have too have they're Apple ID and password in order to get in. It also says I have to contact the previous owner in order to get into it. Is there a way I can get into it without the persons Apple ID/ password?

This is to prevent iPhone theft. The only way that you can unlock the iPhone is to plug it into a computer with iTunes and the registered iTunes account, and wipe the phone. The apple store as well as whatever carrier the phone is (Verizon, sprint, etc.) under may also be able to unlock it, but most likely will not since it is not your phone.

Dude, that is like highly illegal.

Return the phone… I'm sure you would want someone to if you lost yours… Just email them on the email for the Apple ID

Don't just give it up
