Found locked iPhone can I delete its info and use it?

I found an iPhone on the ground and turned it into the police and nobody claimed it so they legally gave it back to me. It's lovked and tells me to connect to iTunes. Is there a way I can restart it and use it?

You have to do a full restore. I think you have to plug in in and right away like hold the power button and the home button. If I'm wrong just google it haha good luck man

Take it to the apple shop. They will help you.

It will be icloud locked so you won't be able to. Plus the owner can see it on the map where its located and you can't turn that off.

  • Which is more accurate regarding the details of an iphone, iphoneimei.info or imei.info? When I look up the IMEI of my broken iphone 5s on iphoneimei.info it says it's 16gb and when I look it up on imei.info it says it's 32gb… Which site is more accurate? The iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not power on unless connected and it won't tell me the storage capacity in itunes.
  • IPhone help? Its cracked and locked up and buttons don't work? I have an iPhone that is locked up because of unknown password, neither buttons work and screen is cracked really bad and it won't connect to iTunes to reset. Any info on how much it would cost to have this stuff fixed? I can replace the screen myself but does anyone know how I can get into it?
  • I found an iPhone and I can't activate it without the previous owners info I found an iPhone 5s and I restored it to keep it. I was setting it up and the phone said "Active iPhone" it's linked to the previous owners ID and was wondering if I could bypass this or something? Anything will help.
  • I found an iphone 4s that's locked. How can I unlock it and use it? I work at a bar and people leave their phones all the time. I had an iphone 4, but it recently broke. I took an iphone 4s that has been at my work for the last 4 months. I was hoping to use it. The only problem is their is a passcode on the phone. How can I unlock it and wipe it to use it? Sorry I forgot to mention this phone has been sitting in our lost and found for quite some time. I did not steal it.
