Maybe you should explain exactly what your problem is...

Activation lock is a theft deterrent system designed to make an iOS device unusable to anyone other than the rightful owner.

If you purchased a used phone, and it is indicating it is activation locked to someone else's iCloud account, you need to contact whoever you got it from

Only the owner of the account it's locked to can remove the lock.
