If this is on a new device that you have bought and are encountering someone else's email - that is an activation lock and only the original owner can remove that lock

Can we bypass icloud activation ?
You can skip setting up or signing into an iCloud account during activation. But no, you cannot bypass device activation with Apple's servers. If you are encountering a request for an iCloud account password, that is activation lock, which is a feature one sets up during activation at the (optional) point of setting up their iCloud account in the devIce.
