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. 


Request additional support for unlocking your device


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)


Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple.    


or contact Apple ID Support.

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.
