If the problem is with the lock screen passcode then all you have to do is connect the iPhone to your computer and restore it. Afterwards, you can either set it up as new or restore from a backup. As for getting a refurbished iPhone via insurance from "AT&T", that typical, and there's nothing wrong with it unless it specifically states that any replacement will be "brand new" and not "like new".

It's hard to understand exactly what is happening in your note, but it sounds like the phone was returned by somebody and they hadn't turned off Find My iPhone, so the phone wouldn't allow you to set it up without the previous person's passcode. AT&T should not accept returns this way, and definitely shouldn't offer a phone like that as a warranty replacement, and I am sure that they will exchange for another one if that, indeed, was the problem.

I would suggest, though, that you try to set up the phone in the store to make sure that the new replacement doesn't have the same problem.
