Check this link to set up new Passcode. The process will erase the device.

I'm afraid you may also encounter Activation Lock which is a theft prevention feature. This Lock requires the Apple ID and Password of the original user who set up the device. Without this information, you will never be able to use the device. In which case, it can be recycled at any Apple Store if you can't get your money back.
