Have them enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.


Apple ID - Manage            


Apple ID – Forgot Password            


If they are being told there isn't enough information to reset them, have them contact Apple ID Support.


If they don't know the answers, if the steps in the article below don’t work, have them contact Apple ID Support, although I’m not sure they will be able to help. 


Apple ID - If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions.
