You will have to take it to an Apple Store, prove identity and see if they can reset it to factory specs.

Currently Apple needs our apple id to do a normal reset (had that done for repair purposes).

I agree with John.  With the information you provided about your situation, taking it to the Apple store is most likely you're only option.

I wrote an article that talks about things you can try and how to take preventative measures to avoid situations like these.
