How to activate an iPhone 5 without an icloud/apple id account?

I can't contact the previous owner. Please help. How can I activate it or What should I do?

Quite simply… You don't

Call Pope Francis… I hear he can work miracles… Lmao

you can try to call Apple and beg, bride them… Good luck!

You can skip that option. If it is demanding the password for an Apple ID that can't be removed without the password. And if you can't contact the former owner you're out of luck and a couple hundred.

Is it asking for the password? Activation lock, and it can be bypassed although it will cost you money. If you're ready, you can mail me for references.
