Have him do this, What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If it is his Apple ID password that he cannot remember to remove Activation Lock, he is going to have to recover it. He needs to start here, If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
