Only the actual iCloud account holder with account credentials can deactivate the activation lock / passcode , even you possess the iPhone you can never sign in with your Apple ID and password and merge the two accounts see the article Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
Note : the Apple ID credentials were created from another person and you can't compromise it ( they are secured ) iCloud security overview - Apple Support
Note : not sure about third party iCloud account link up .
