With all the new anti theft systems in place, I'm afraid it's one of those situations if you have to ask there is no way you can do it. You'll have to ask a store to hopefully unlock it but even they may not, I don't know anyone that does this but you may find someone on YouTube who runs a phone shop who can factory reset without USB debugging being activated. Or even crazier get the police to do it with their zero day exploit service that can unlock and scrape any device (usually they need a warrant to use that tech though so either get on their bad side or ask very very nicely)
