If you're talking about Apple ID, see these support articles:

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

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


If you are talking about "activation lock" (an anti-theft measure), neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can help you, sorry, unless you are the original owner and you still have the proof of purchase (receipt/invoice reporting your device’s IMEI or Serial Number). Should be this case, start your request using this link: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support


Shouldn’t be this case, activation lock can be removed only by the previous owner, with the credentials that were used to activate that iPhone/iPad. Without those credentials, that device is useless to you.

If you mean something different, please better specify your situation / needs.
