If you know the security question or if you have access to the iCloud email address you can read this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487. You can request a password at this page: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid (note: you need to have access to the iCloud mail of that account, try opening the Mail app on your iPhone). Good luck
