I received my moms old iPhone 6 Plus and she thought she reset it but realized that she didn’t do it right. She has a activation lock on it and she has forgotten her Information for it due to the fact she has upgraded n made a new id. (The phone is a couple years old and not used) I was wondering is there anyway I could get past this or do something to unlock it

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