Try to remember the passcode. If you can remember even part of the passcode, you can try entering it repeatedly. The iPhone will give you hints after a few incorrect attempts.
Use Find My iPhone. If the previous owner enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to reset the passcode. You will need to know the Apple ID and password for the account that was used to set up Find My iPhone.
Perform a factory reset. This will erase all of the data on the phone, including the passcode. You can perform a factory reset by holding down the power button and the home button until you see the Apple logo.
If you have tried all of these methods and you still can't unlock the phone, you will need to contact AT&T. They may be able to help you unlock the phone if you can provide proof of purchase.
Here are some additional tips for unlocking an iPhone with a forgotten passcode:
If you are using an iPhone 5S or later, you can try using Touch ID to unlock the phone.
If you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone from the backup. This will restore the passcode, but it will also erase any data that was added to the phone since the backup was created.
If you are unable to unlock the phone, you may need to take it to a repair shop. They may be able to unlock the phone for you, but this may be expensive.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
