Use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you're the iPhone's original owner and have encountered the activation lock, supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove it.

Your Apple ID is an email you provided at time of account setup it could be an existing email or you can create an email that ends with @iCloud.com . If you don't remember your password that's fine, basically try to attempt to enter the password around 3 times and then you will be prompted to reset it, Apple will ask you 2/3 security questions you provided them at time of account creation and then you can reset your password. If you can't then you can restore your phone with a Mac or PC (With iTunes installed) and follow the steps here: If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support and you can set it up with a new Apple ID *Please note this will erase all your data*


Let me know if this helps,

Cheers!
