Your only chance of getting access back is by sending in the original purchase receipt from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller here:

Hopefully the device has not been Marked as Lost, otherwise it cannot be unlocked. Social Media is full of scams and it is important to have that understanding.

Well... Copy and paste works. Now you just need to read the only answer that is available to you. In NO way should you ever be entering someone else's Apple Account into your device. You are just turning over control of your device to them. You also would not send Cash to someone you do not know, click a link or call a phone number in an email/message and provide personal information, or send Gift Cards to someone you do not know.
