How can I change the Apple ID on my dads iPhone?

Hi,

can anyone help?

How can I change the Apple ID on my dads iPhone (he passed away) but I can’t sign out from his Apple ID.

his iCloud was cancelled so the password cannot work anymore when I sign out.

ive tried the various YouTube videos, but they use ‘Find my’ and on the iPhone it is disabled - due to having no iCloud account maybe…?


is there a way at all?

iPhone 7, iOS 15
