Activation Lock

Ive bought a used iPhone X. I have updated and restored it. Upon trying to set it up, i selected language, and country. Now it says i have to sign in with the apple ID and password that the phone was setup with. I dont have this and have no way of getting it. Is there anyway around this? I have my own apple ID and password but it says the one the phone was set up with is needed.

Thanks!

iPhone XS

There is no bypass to the activation lock. All you can do is return it for a refund and then purchase a phone you can use.
