I'm afraid that unless you have the password for the account that phone is registered with - you have an unworkable brick.

If the phone is locked with Find My Phone, the only thing you can do is get with the original owner and get the password. There is no workaround.

If the person who sold you the phone doesn't know the password, may I suggest you return the phone and get your money back. Because the phone is and will be completely useless to you without that password.
