Can you change the password? Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification  email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.


Apple ID - Manage            


Apple ID – Forgot Password            


If you can change the password, you can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
