iPod 5 activation lock is asking for my old Apple ID Dear community! Recently I changed my Apple ID. For some reason I ended up in the activation lock screen on my iPod 5th generation (2014). It is asking for the Apple ID that I used to set up the iPod, which I do not have anymore. Does anybody know how to update it? Thanks in advance. Cris [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unless you still have the original receipt.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.

Without the owner's authorisation, no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
