You can't find the phone using the serial number. You need to recover your Apple ID and password.


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

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.

Then you can use Find My Phone.
