There is nothing you can do with the original owner using the ID and password to remove the Activation lock. If it was set up xorrectly it should be the same ID and password as for their iPhone. If not they can use the following to retrieve the ID and password. Find user ID: hhttps://iforgot.apple.com/appleid#!&section=appleid

Forgot password: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487

then follow these instruction to remove the lock: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
