Unlock Phone

Hello
I bought the phone. It is registered to another AT&T account. I don't know who the old owner is and I don't know how I can unlock it now. Could you please help me?

Submit your request as a non customer. Where it asks if you are a customer, select no.

Not according to AT&T. Someone else owns it you just have possession of it

@Tudor  Only the original owner can fix the issue. You are not the original owner.
