Aug 31, 2015 2:53 PM in response to m.elabdby Roger Wilmut1,He should go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find your Apple ID' if he doesn't know what his ID is, or http://iforgot.apple.com if he knows it but doesn't know the password.
Until he can remove the Activation Lock the phone is useless. No-one else can unlock it; if he takes it to an Apple Store together with proof that he is the original purchaser they may unlock it for you. Failing these processes, you should return the phone and ask for your money back: the phone will be permanently unusable.
