Your relative has run into the Activation Lock. The correct password must be entered to remove the Activation Lock.

If you are still unable to recover/retrieve the forgotten password (above), then If you need help removing Activation Lock and have proof of purchase documentation, you can 👉 start an Activation Lock support request.
