In 2020, I bought an Apple SE phone and used it for quite a long time. When I bought a new one, I gave my old SE phone to my friend, who used it until his death. When he died, his widow returned the phone to me, but it has a password that no one except the deceased knew. Is there a way to unlock it? I have a copy of the death certificate of the last owner.

Do you have the original receipt? More than likely since you are the original owner Apple will unlock the iPhone for you. Take care.

No, I'm afraid not. I'll try asking at the store where I bought this phone and all my other gadgets. But 2020 was a long time ago, and a lot has happened since then. I'm afraid they don't have anything left either.
