how to reset password

I am trying to reset the password on my nieces old iPhone... she has given me her apple ID and passcode but it keeps saying her account is locked up... I want to reset the phone to factory settings but I cannot... how else can I do this without her password? the phone is an iPhone6.

iPhone 7, iOS 11

You need her password before resetting the phone.


See if this works. Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.


Apple ID - Manage
