Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally not easy to bypass.


You need either the Apple ID and password, or the original purchase receipt.


Here is how to recover the Apple ID:


If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Or you need the original purchase receipt showing the serial number, and a discussion directly with Apple.
