My brother gave me this 7 year old iphone 4s . Before handing it to me , his friend used it with his id . The guy did a restore on the 4s without signing it out . So when i got this phone , it was saying to connect to itunes , so i did and a restore and now there's is a activation lock. I tried finding that guy but he is no where to be found and tried many steps on youtube on bypassing but with no luck . So is there no way to bypass this activation lock , might aswell throw this phone in the garbage . Why would apple design such things , someone can easily lock your phone.If anyone out there have a solution , please let me know.

Take it to the Apple store, and be prepared to provide proof of ownership.
They'll hook you up.

I can't do that , there's no apple store here and i have no proofs of this 7 year old device.

Your only other option is contacting your brothers friend to get the sign in information. It's an anti theft measure, so if someone steals the phone it's useless to them, most smart phones have some version of this.
