If you have forgotten your Apple ID please see the following resources:

If you've forgotten your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

If you have forgotten your Apple ID password – Apple Support (UK)


If you have forgotten the passcode to get into the device, you will need to connect your iPhone to a computer or Macbook running iTunes and follow the steps at If you’ve forgotten your iPhone passcode – Apple Support (UK)


If your device is Activation Locked, you will need your brothers help as long as he is the original owner of the phone.

Please be advised that as the iPhone 4S is an old device, it is only able to update to iOS 9.3.5 and is unable to upgrade to iOS 10 or further, this means many apps may no longer work on your device. You may want to look at purchasing a more up to date iPhone, to get the most out of your phone.
