Without the Apple ID and Password of the original owner, you will never bypass Activation Lock which is a theft prevention feature. Check these links...

Will they be able to un lock it ?
Yes, but only if they were the owners of the phone and know the PW. This is unlikely. I would try contacting them but don't get your hopes up, if they were the owners they would have sold it to you unlocked.
Basically I lost anyway you put it because I can’t back in touch with them so I’ll never be able to use the phone ?

No, you will never be able to use the phone. You can recycle it at any Apple Store. Next time buy from Apple or authorized dealer. Apple has refurbished Macs on their web site at reduced prices.
