If you/he know the current password.


 Apple ID Password Change.   -   


 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support  -   I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.


If you/he forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you/he 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  *      


To reset the phone, do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from the backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      *


Restore - If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.   *


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.     *
