Need Phone in morning! Phone start w/antitheft alarm, after ente

[angelgabbby]

To whomever might possibly be able to help:
I am desperate for a fast resolution. About 2hrs ago I was scrolling through my programs menu, when suddenly phone restarted. When it came back on, it gave a message saying "to activate your new phone..." (w/the factory icons, etc only on the screen). Then suddenly "Avast" pops up with this extremely loud siren saying that "Warning this device has been lost or stolen". I just got password from previous owner, but as soon as enter it, app goes away & goes to the factory home screen, than reboots about 3 seconds later... and keeps on going in the same sequence.
I must have working phone by morning. What do I have to do? Yes, if there is a way to recover &save my stuff, I would prefer to, however I am desperate so if I cant easily then fine... Just tell me exactly what I must do.

Thank you for your time &assistance

You may want to root if you haven't, erase everything, and install a new rom.
Not sure what's going on, but it sounds like the only way to escape that cycle, tho you will lose all your on-phone data
