Hey jannie,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I understand correctly, your iPhone 6s has an iCloud account on it that's associated with an Apple ID which you no longer use and aren't able to remove from the device because you don't know the Apple ID password. The article below should help you resolve this issue, it outlines the available ways to reset your Apple ID password.

So long.
