Yeap! Only the iDevice's original owner can activate it with his/her Apple ID and password! The iCloud Activation Lock CANNOT be hacked! You must find the original owner and ask to deactivate the iCloud Activation Lock!
Use elcomsoft phone breaker to perform a backup of device. from there you can create an authorization token for icloud and find icloud password. then you can remove device from icloud via icloud.com
