You bought it second hand? If it was claimed previously and you can't find the last owner and get them to unclaim it then it is worthless and you should try to return it, unfortunately.

Whoever you got it from needs to unclaim it from their dashboard

You bought  a used one?  The previous owner need to unclaim it.  Maybe the seller is not the previews owner.. 

Not much  you can do then.

Owch, this is one of the downsides of Meraki gear. Not sure how it looks environmentally either when older equipment ends up in a landfill rather than being re-used elsewhere.
