There is nothing else that you can do before you remove the Activation Lock. You will need the original owner's Apple ID and Password to remove the Activation Lock. There is no way around this. You just bought this iPhone. If you can, then return the iPhone to the seller and get your money back. If you are not able to remove the Activation Lock, then this iPhone will be useless to you.
