You can't. And Apple will not help you. You ran into Activation Lock, an anti-theft measure that cannot be bypassed. The device is useless to you or anyone else. If you cannot get a refund, then dispose of the device properly. To read more, see:

Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

and the "If you bought the device from someone else" section in:

Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support
