Check Settings/Your Name/iCloud or Settings/iCloud to see if the Apple ID shows there. If it does, use the forgot password link above to recover the password.


If necessary, if have the original owner take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store.
