If the iPhone has someone else's Apple ID on it, you cannot unlock it. That is why Apple ID's are personal and not meant to be shared.


If you don't have original proof of purchase information of this iPhone you cannot get rid of the activation lock. If you have original proof of purchase information, , you can start an Activation Lock support request.
