Based on the material you posted that was (properly) removed by the Moderator, it’s clear the original Apple ID and password that were “forgotten” were not yours.


The original owner must unlock the iPhone or it will remain useless forever.


Get a refund if possible.

Your Apple ID is your email address; if you forgot your email address just look at any email sent to you. Apple can provide advice to help you remember your Apple ID→Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID, but they can't tell you what it is, because that would let anyone who found your phone pretend they are you and steal your phone or your data.


Apple has an Apple ID recovery process that requires you to prove your identity, and also gives Apple time to verify the information→How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support


Once you have your Apple ID you can reset your password→If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
