Unlocking iPhone 14 with iCloud Account

so a few days ago we contacted Apple support about a iPhone 14 with a bad iCloud account on it. We was trying to switch it to a different account but now we can’t get this one off and once they proof of purchase, even though I don’t have that so I can get my phone freed up and be able to use it again that’s ridiculous. What can I do? Can an Apple Store fixes? I’m getting really upset with this. It shouldn’t be this hard to unlock my iPhone. This got stolen it sitting right here.

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.
