hi Markchristianmangubat,

yes, you can.

Take your iPhone that you want to access.

  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap "Sign in to your iPhone" (or iPad).
  3. Tap Email and enter the email address associated with the different Apple ID.
  4. Enter the Password associated with the different Apple ID.
  5. Tap Merge if you want to merge the data on your iPhone with the iCloud account associated with the different Apple ID. Tap Don't Merge if you don't want the content on the iPhone uploaded to iCloud in the different Apple ID's account.

Well, this is a totally different problem.

If that iphone has activation lock, only the previous owner can unlock it (following the steps provided in the support guide I already suggested):

Nobody else can help you here. If the previous owner doesn't follow all the above steps, that iphone is useless for you, sorry.
