Bypass activation lock

Had to reset an old iPhone 6s that my son used to use on wifi. He had been using an old gmail for his Apple ID that he does not remember and put an activation lock on iPhone. Unable to retrieve email OR password to unlock the phone after resetting the phone.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

The Activation Lock is a security feature and can only be removed with the use of the right Apple ID and Password.
