i need Help Unlocking a iPhone 4s I purchased on eBay?

I purchased a damaged iPhone 4s on eBay, got it to working but now it has a password lock on it (I asked previous owner but he says he can't give me the password cause he has a lot of personal items on the phone)and can't get it unlocked or reset/restored on iTunes cause password. iTunes keeps asking for password I guess cause my iTunes doesn't recognize the phone. what can I do?

Update:

I've tried Youtube, Google, Yahoo, iTunes it starts fine but half way thru it ask me for the password

    Hi, You can put it on DFU mode, To put it on this mode you press the Power on/off button and the home button for 10 secs, keep pressing untill the Apple logo appears, When it appears let go of the Power On/Off button and continue predding the home button, You will see the connect to itunes message, after that, Connect it to Itunes, And restore it, Itunes will give you the option! Your welcome xD
