In the past people either had to answer security questions or call up Apple Customer Service, might still be the case.

 

Customer Service: 0800 048 0408. Lines are open Monday–Saturday 09:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–18:00.

This is partly why Apple are really paranoid about Security.

Can you reset the password if you attempt to logon to icloud.com?

So someone has a wiped Mac and iPhone. They lost their Apple ID pass word and some how the current phone is not getting the notification through it not asking for security questions and it not sending a texted to their phone so they can reset it.

You mean they have forgotten it....unless they have clicked in email phishing attack and now someone else has their Apple ID password.
