If it is Passcode Lock, see this link...

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

But I am afraid it is probably Activation Lock. Without the Apple ID and Password of the original owner, you will never be able to use the phone. Activation Lock is a theft prevention feature and cannot be by-passed. Try to return it for your money back. If that is not possible, you can recycle it at any Apple Store. Check this link...
