Unless they can remove the phone from their account, the phone is worthless. Apple won't unlock it for you.


See if they can recover the ID/password. Use every email address they can think of.

If they forgot the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if they can get a Rescue or Notification  email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
