Recycle it.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent, and it would not be a deterrent if there was a readily-avia;ble bypass. You need that Apple ID and password (or released remotely by the previous owner, via iCloud), or you need the original purchase receipt and matching photo ID and a discussion with Apple, or some legal paperwork if the previous owner is deceased.
