Send him this link and tell him to follow the last set of instructions. If he's certain that he's using the correct Apple ID and the iPhone doesn't appear in the list, see the second part of my first sentence above.


If an attempt to remove the iPhone from an Apple ID doesn't take, the Apple ID involved can no longer be used to unlock it.
