If you cannot get in touch with the original owner, or the seller cannot help you with it, then you have purchased a useless piece of plastic and metal. Can you return it to the seller for a refund?

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
