I've tried to go over the documents that the FBI submitted to the court and I couldn't get a clear answer who owned the device, but it seemed that it was at least partially managed by the county.
The FBI had the original Apple ID password and could access the device in theory but it seems now that after it's been unlinked or some one has changed it to a completely random password (as it doesn't seem like some one did it intentionally to interfere with the investigation) so there is no one to really socially engineer.
That makes it pretty clear which institution switched the Apple-ID on the device, don't you think?
