If you cannot remember the AppleID or password, you have to recover that information first, as explained in the links you’ve been given. There is no way to bypass activation lock - if that were possible, it would be a pointless feature.


The only way to get past activation lock is to know and enter the AppleID and password used with iCloud on that device.
