Resetting iPhone 11 without Apple ID or lock screen passcode

I need to reset my iPhone 11, but I don't remember the Apple ID password, and I also don't remember the lock screen passcode. Can you provide any solution?

● Reset device if you can prove to Apple's satisfaction you are the owner:

Apple can completely reset a device if a person can provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership. This is done online* at: Activation Lock support request - https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support Apple says, "Proof of ownership documentation is required," but does not provide many details in the article as to what is acceptable proof. Prior to this official service Apple typically required the original receipt** issued by Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller. Note that while this will let you get use of the device again, it will not help you with lost access to an account. In addition, Apple will not reset if Lost Mode is set on a device.
