Help unlocking this second hand iPhone
You have run into an Activation Lock. This lock can only be removed if you have the credentials that the iPhone is asking for. It should give you a hint of the Apple ID and you need to input the password. You bought the iPhone secondhand and therefore you will need to contact the original owner/seller of the iPhone to provide the credentials to you. There is no way around this. You can attempt to return that iPhone and try and get your money back.

You will need the previous owner's apple id along with more information to get it entirely unlocked.
