What if this phone was given to me and they forgot their Apple ID and password ?

This phone was given to me as a gift and it was already a used phone when they got it. So they don’t know the previous owner’s anymore to get the previous Apple ID and password from them . But this was all done willingly from person to person as gifts. So I need to see, how can I activate the phone from here ?

You cant, the original owners will have to unlock it.
