Tap or click on the following blue-text links for info about regaining access to an Apple ID, depending on the particular details forgotten, or details not available:


If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts - Apple Support

Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support


If you just purchased this iPhone, only the person holding the Apple ID associated with the Activation Lock can release it. They can release it remotely, using iCloud. If they’re still available, which for many of these cases they’re not; sellers scamming buyers and disappearing have been discussed many times before, unfortunately. Nobody here can assist with releasing an Activation Lock, as it is intended as a theft deterrent.
