forget initial Apple ID & password for iPhone

I had reset my iPhone6 and I couldn't login with my Apple ID (which I was using before reset). And the email showing a strange email address to me. Seems another email address was registered in my iPhone initially. How can I use my Apple ID to login again? or How can I retrieve the full email address it shows (it is showing a******@gmail.com) so that I could find out who had logged my iPhone.

iPhone 6, iOS 11

You cannot do either of these things. You must find the original owner and have that person unlock the iPhone as described here.
