When he created the account, did he register alternate recovery email address or phone number to which he has access to receive a reset code?
Not atall. But d phone number he used then is no more in use.

Unfortunately, if, when you created the account, you have not registered an alternate recovery email address or phone number to which you have access to receive a reset code, you cannot prove that you are the account's legitimate owner. Hence account recovery is absolutely impossible and there is no way around it.
