Cannot Turn Off Activation Lock

My son set up my old iPhone 6S without my permission and now I cannot clear it to resell because he cannot remember the Apple ID to turn off the Activation Lock. How can I fix this?

Tell him to use Apple's iForgot service or contact their Account Security team, or the iPhone’s original owner to supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove the lock.
