Depends on what you mean by "locked".

If it says something along the lines of iCloud Activation Lock and it wants a password for an email account, you might as well put them back in the bin room. You can't get around that without the password and or a receipt for the purchase and take it an Apple store. It's an anti-theft measure.

If it's just some 4 or 6 digit number lock, or a message saying the device is locked and the max number of attempts has been reached, I beleive all you need is a computer with iTunes running on it, put the device into the DFU mode (google it) and restore as a new device.

That'll erase everything on it but it'll still be useable as a new device.
