I would return it to the person that you bought it from

You need to supply more information. Is it only asking for the pin when you put in your sim card? Is it asking for this pin regardless of a sim or not? What exactly does the pin message say? It can mean a lot of things. Perhaps it isn't carrier unlocked and requires a sim unlock code? Perhaps your sim PUK is locked? Pictures come in more handy.


Since you said it is a 4 digit pin I will assume it is a lock screen pin. If it is you can try contacting the seller to ask if they know it. You said its sealed but it's probably just been resealed.
