Im using my friends old Iphone and he doesnt know his apple ID password, we could request to change it from apple but it takes like 2 weeks for them to get back to you, is there any way of doing it without the password? Jailbreaking etc?

thanks alot,
 
Sadly I don't think it's possible, but there might be very very smart guys who would be able to do that. Honestly, idk.
 
No without the Apple ID password or access to the account's recovery methods, there's no legitimate way to remove the Apple ID, and jailbreaking won't bypass Activation Lock. Try to use Apple's account recovery process or reset the password if they can verify their identity.
 
Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass the Apple ID password on a modern iPhone in a reliable or safe way.
Jailbreaking will not remove the Activation Lock (iCloud lock) anymore, Apple patched that years ago. Any “tools” or services claiming to unlock it for a fee are usually scams.
Your best bet is to go through Apple’s official account recovery process, even if it takes a bit of time. Your friend will need to provide proof of purchase or other verification.
Sorry it is not the quick answer you wanted
 
if activation lock is enabled. no. resetting or jailbreaking wont remove it. your friend needs to recover the apple id or provide proof of purchase to apple.
 
Yes, but that depends on whether you are talking about "resetting the iPhone" or "using the iPhone again after resetting it."
 
No without the Apple ID password or having access to the recovery process there isnot much of a legitimate method to delete the Apple ID. There is not any way jailbreaking can help get past Activation Lock either. The best method would be to contact Apple to recover their account or reset the password.

There's no jailbreaking it, you should wait it out until he gets his apple ID password.
