See if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.


Apple ID - How to find your Apple    An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.

If you forgot the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get an email option if necessary.

Do, you have another device you can restore a backup to?


Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a back and only restore certain files.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.    


If you were syncing with iCloud, also set up iCloud syncing to recover your data.
