Getting into an iPhone:
If your cousin is still around, then he/she needs to dissociate it from their own account. They need to perform as instructed here, including the iCloud logout: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Is the iPhone Locked to Your Cousin's Apple Account?
