How can I reactivate an old iPhone if I forgot the Apple ID and password?

I’m trying to activate an IPhone 6s Plus i once had. I forgot the Apple ID and it’s password and trying to remember. I’ve put every password and ID I can remember using on this phone. Any tips on any other methods I can use or is that the only way?

Hello Jkismine1,


If you forgot your Apple ID or password, you can try resetting them.

Apple ID: If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number

Password: If you forgot your Apple ID password


If you have proof of purchase documentation, you can submit an Activation Lock support ticket.

Hope that helps!
