You don’t.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent, and this case is indistinguishable from a lost or stolen iPhone.

Either recover that Apple ID access, or use purchase receipts and photo ID and a discussion directly with Apple.

See the Activation Lock section here for your options: How to Unlock an iPad or iPhone? - Apple Community
