Without the Apple ID and Password used to set up the device, you will not be able to use it. Activation Lock is a theft prevention feature. We cannot help and Apple will not unless you can provide the original receipt clearly showing the serial number. See this link...

If you are referring to the passcode that is used to unlock the iPhone and get to the Home Screen, then You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉  If you forgot the passcode or if your iPhone has been disabled. You will need a computer to execute this procedure and all the data on your iPhone will be erased.
