Erasing an iPhone does not clear Activation Lock.
Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally difficult to bypass.
We can’t help, and — absent convincing proof — Apple won’t help.
You will have to enter the password to the account holding the lock either directly on the iPhone or release the lock remotely using iCloud, or will need to present proof of ownership sufficient to convince Apple to have Activation Lock removed.
An original purchase receipt from Apple or an Apple authorized reseller showing the iPhone serial number is usually sufficient proof.
If you have forgotten the Apple Account password, you will need to recover access to the Apple Account.
