Hi Everyone, I deleted my Apple ID and forgot to sign out of my phone. My phone is now asking for the password of the apple ID which was deleted.... how do I get rid of the deleted apple ID from my phone?

You will need to contact Apple as you cannot bypass the activation lock from the deleted Apple ID.


Activation lock makes a stolen Apple device useless.
