I had iphone 5, lost last week, I want to use daughters old iphone 6plus but she forgot its apple ID and password after she upgraded to a new iphone many months ago

How do I change over from my old account of my lost phone to a new account for my daughter's old phone.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

You are welcome.


If you/she are the original owner, 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)

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


Apple ID - How to find your Apple    An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.


Apple ID - Find              


If she forgot the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if she can get an email option if necessary.
