There is NO WAY you can EVER get the old owner's Apple ID or Password. Apple WILL NOT help you. If you replaced the motherboard with a used one, you totally wasted your money. Apple does NOT sell parts such as motherboards for iPhone at all. The phone is useless. Recycle it responsibly and buy a phone you can actually use.
