Have the person try the below.


Apple ID - How to find your Apple         An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.


Apple ID - Find


Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.


Apple ID - Manage


Apple ID – Forgot Password


If the previous owner can't log out of iCloud or go to iCloud.com/Find My Phone and erase the device, then remove it from their account, the device is useless. Ask for a refund. Apple will not unlock it unless you have a copy of the original purchase receipt with the serial number on it.
