This sounds like Factory Reset Protection. It is an anti-theft measure, so is of course designed to be hard to get past. I don't know a method myself.

And to be honest if I did know a way of doing it I'd have a major problem with posting it publicly, since that would also mean that any phone thief could read the same post and so would be able to unlock stolen phones.
