How can I activate my iPhone, if I forgot the password and have no proof of purchase?

I do not have proof of purchase. This phone has been past down in the family. No one remembers the passcode either

Nothing you can do without gaining access to the account that it is locked to. That person will need to make the request to change the password if it has been forgotten.

After that, you will be able to reset the Passcode:
