My mum has forgotten all passwords and we cannot reset the Apple ID on her old phone. Any ideas?

If she is the original owner, have her contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID if provided the required paperwork.

Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get an email option if necessary.
I’ve tried but it says the email is unmatched.
it’s so frustrating as a friend helped her apparently but neither of them remember any of it. I cannot think of another way - tried all the passwords she could think, tried forgotten, tried send code and link email - no good. So frustrating, old phone sat there and my daughter was desperate for it.
Thank you, I wasn’t sure if they could with shops etc being closed. She’s had the phone from new on an old contract, so she’s the registered owner etc. I’ll try tomorrow to see if I can get hold of anyone.
You are welcome.
