I bought a phone from Facebook Marketplace but the original owner locked it, so how do I get the iPhone to reset?

It's an iPhone 12 mini And you can't do it with iTunes

If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their Apple ID.
