You will need the Apple ID and Password of the Apple ID that is in the phone to unlock it. The only way to be able to unlock it without the password is if you have the original receipt from Apple showing your name and serial number of the device. If you purchased the device used from an unknown party and unable to contact them, then you will not be able to use the device.
