I've recently purchased an I Pod Touch 6th generation model # A1574 from my local pawn shop but I'm being asked for the account previously linked to the device. Since it was purchased through a third party person, I obviously don't know how to contact the previous owner. What can I do in this situation to unlock/ bypass the needed apple account information that's needed for login?
iPod touch, iOS 9.3.1
There is no bypass for activation lock.
You need either the Apple ID and password that put the activation lock in place, or the original owner's cooperation. They, and only they, can provide the proof of purchase to Apple and request the activation lock be removed.

Hi. Hold down the home and power button for 15 seconds connected to the iTunes. iTunes will detect an iPod in recovery mode. Restore the iPod this will delete all the content in the iPod making it like a brand new device. Once it's finished you can sign in with your apples and use iCloud etc.
Here you can find how to restore iPod via iTunes. Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support
NO, this will NOT work. If it's an AppleID LOCK there is absolutely ZERO way in no matter if you factory reset, jailbreak or whatever NOTHING will work unless you have the apples and password period.
Return the iPod to the pawn shop for a refund. It is unusable. There is no way to bypass the Activation lock. See:Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
