Wiping old iPhone to give to grandson I gave my old iPhone 6S to my granddaughter (age 12 now). Then a year later, she got my newer iPhone 11 when I got an iPhone 13 and the 6S was forgotten. Unfortunately she set up her own Apple ID for her new phone (the 11) and the 6S wasn't wiped. Now I want to give the 6S to my grandson (age 9) to take pictures at Disney World and to be able to text when wifi is available. How do I wipe the old phone so I can set it up for his use? Here are some salient points: We know the Apple ID email address used with the 6S but not the password for that email account or for that Apple ID. I do have her new Apple ID and password, but I don't think that is of any help. That 6S email is not available to her anymore (or she has forgotten it). It is a gmail address, so I will try to recover the password. Hopefully a recovery email was set up --maybe using her mom, dad or me. But I'm not hopeful. There is a sim card and I think they did something with the sim card to set up her new phone. I want to either set up a new Apple ID for my grandson or add this device back to my account. Any suggestions? Would any more info be helpful? Can this be done? Thanks for any help Kaye

Reset to like new phone I don’t have a clue what my daughter chose as the phone number associated with the Apple ID used on one of my phones , now I’m trying to access setting up to the phone and I’m needing to use my phone? I still have access to the email account I used for id. Is there anyway my phone can be reset like it’s brand new?
