As long as you know your ID you can reset your password by following these steps https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201487
The security on such things is deliberately tight to prevent a thief from assessing the device.

Not unless you remember the details. Your next hope is likely Apple if they can even do anything

Apple won't help at all i'm afraid.

Your only hope is to make a genius bar appointment, and take along proof of purchase and ID and apple may be able to assist in store.

I have done this a few times with enterprise owned devices where users have changed the iTunes account to their own from our corporate one.
