If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery ( How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.

With out access to the email that is linked to the apple ID you cannot request account recovery. I was told the only thing we can do is to find a 4- or 5-year-old receipt of the purchase of the iPhone XR, which might be impossible. If we go into an apple store with the phone and the person who bought the iphone how can they not unlock the apple id
