Nothing.


Activation Lock cannot be bypassed. Its an anti-theft mechanism. Apple will only help you if you have the proof of purchase / receipt from Apple or an Apple Authorized reseller.


If possible return the iPhone to wherever you bought it as unusable and demand a refund.


Also note, that any websites that claim to remove activation lock for fee are lying and will just take your moeny and not devlier any results either.
