Is the Apple ID a managed Apple ID owned by the business, or is it one that is a personal Apple ID?


If it is a business one, it can be reset in Apple Business Manager.

If it is a personal Apple ID that is using a business email address, you may be able to use the email address to recover the ID.

You have to have the Apple ID to reset the password.


See if they can recover the ID/password. Use every email address they can think of.

If they forgot the Apple ID password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if they can get a Rescue or Notification  email option if necessary.

If necessary, if you are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the ID  if provided the required paperwork. 


Request additional support for unlocking your device


Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened). Call the store before going to make sure they can help.
