Here are the instructions for what is mentioned above:


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Whoever gave this iPhone to you can clear the lock using iCloud, as mentioned in the linked article.


Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and nobody here can help you bypass it, nor will Apple assist given you’ll likely be lacking the original purchase paperwork or other legal documentation.
