You need to contact Apple's account security team directly: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204169
If you can't prove ownership of the iCloud account used to lock it, or provide the original proof of purchase for the device from an authorized retailer, then it's a brick.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock.
Actually I Erased my iPhone for some battery issues, but at that time i forgot to sign out from icloud as well as I forgot to turn off find my iPhone. It was start from scratch and asking for apple id and password.
If you are unable to get past the activation lock screen with your Apple ID. You still have another option left. Find your original proof of purchase, or get a copy from where you bought it. It needs to show the serial number or the IMEI and that you bought it. Schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar with a technician. Bring your proof of purchase and your iPhone to the Apple Store and the activation lock can be removed.
it was showing the hint s.....@gmail.com and this the only id i used from start but it says this not the id I used to unlock the iPhone, one more thing about this is that i was able to sign in to icloud web, icloud on pc, as well as on iTune. but I was unable to unlock it.
I do have the purchased proof but Apple Store say they won't be able to help me because they don't have the authority, they suggest me to call on toll free no. the support team from toll free no said it won't be useful until and unless you
remember apple id, they said might be this not your apple id so you try to
remember it from scratch and try it. My iPhone is locked almost from one
week. And I am fade-up from all this thing.
You should remember the Apple ID you activated your iPhone with.
Ok I somehow agree for that, but when I erased my phone how come it will display my phone even I got mail that FMIP is disabled
I have done it. In iTunes it shows my apple id in my account, but what the problem with activation lock. I am totally going mad.
I tried each and every thing from my side, but it won't work for me. I don't have any access to my iPhone I already reset my password.
If you don't have access to your iPhone what is locked then? 🤨
Did you buy this phone originally from store?
Talk to a manger there. They totally have the authority. Somehow they are ignorant to their own processess.
If you can sign into iCloud.com with the Apple ID that you say it is, it will show you iPhone in the FMIP app if it’s not there it’s not the right email address simple as that.
Restore iOS using iTunes, then try again.
Then contact Apple's account security team. If they can't help you, you're out of luck.
