You need to go to a Motorola center to reset. What happened is called 'factory reset protection'. This is to avoid stolen - devices - sold after reset. Do you know the owner? ---> pretty penny means what?

Try holding down the volume down and power button until a menu shows up and there should be an option for factory reset select that hit go and wait for it to finish then reboot the phone and all of the previous accounts/data should be removed.

IIRC, 'factory reset protection' cannot be bye-passed that way. Some people have some strange tricks on youtube but I am not sure.
