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.

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.

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.
