I have an old Iphone 7 that my son use to have, but he is trying to sell it. However, he has forgotten the password to unlock it. What can I do?

Password or passcode?

Passcode - If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone or your device is disabled.

See 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208856. This link says: "There might be a problem with the payment method that you have on file. When you see the message, don't try to edit any of your account information. Insteadcontact Apple Support for help.”

 

Use the Apple recommended support link above first.

 

And, if necessary, go here is how to contact iTunes worldwide support via text or chat using this link https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/itunes After choosing your country, see the heading Tell us how we can help.

Use the passcode link I posted for the disabled phone.


Use the other links for the password.


If he can't recover then password, if necessary, if he is the original owner, have him contact Apple. They can remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
