Reset to factory an iCloud locked iPhone

You can force it into recovery mode and restore it as new in iTunes. But afterwards you will not be able to activate and use it for anything without the password to the AppleID currently logged into iCloud on it.

Erasing a device does not disable activation lock. You must know the AppleID/iCloud password to use that device or release it for someone else to use it.

Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

You can't unlock it without the Apple ID and password.

You can't reset it without first signing out of iCloud.

If you have started the account recovery process, you will have to

wait for it to proceed - it is not instantaneous and may take a day or two.
