If you have access to the email account that was her Apple ID, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.


Apple ID - Manage            


Apple ID – Forgot Password    


Or contact Apple. They need to see a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the will or a document that shows you inherited it.

Either take the device, the above paperwork, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
