See: If you forgot your Apple ID  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201354

 

 You also can use Having trouble signing in/iForgot https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid 

 

And you will need to see If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485

 

Before trying to answer your security questions is very important that you think about your questions, including your birth date, and their answers carefully and try to recall all details you can. If you don't answer them correctly enough, then you easily can lose control of your account.

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