iCloud Activation Lock, it is a security feature and you’ll need to first try and figure out the Apple ID and reset the password first.

If you can’t you’ll need proof of ownership, like the receipt from buying the iPhone brand new yourself and to “Start an Activation Lock support request.”  from https://al-support.apple.com/#/kbase
