You can only unblock the phone again with the AppleID and password that was used to set up the phone. This is a new security feature if your phone gets stolen and somebody else wants to use it again.
To be used by another person, the owner has to unlock the phone via iCloud on the computer, a blocked phone can't be set up anymore.
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
For more information about Activation Lock, see the Apple Support article Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7.

NO and NO.
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.
There is NO Workaround.

Good for you.
That is not what this thread is about. This thread is about activation lock and not carrier lock. Read before you post and start your own thread with your question/problem.
