Is there anyway to get into my iCloud with out knowing my Apple ID , password or email that i created it with?

my iPhone got passed down from my mom. She doesn’t remember her Apple ID, password, or email attached to it. The phone also will not turn on. Is there a way I can login?

iPhone 8

See if she can recover the ID/password. She can try all the email addresses she can remember.

Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.

If she can recover the ID and password, have her do the steps in the article below to make it 'your' iPhone and prevent future problems.

What do you mean by the phone won't turn on? It won't start or is disabled?

If the device will not power on and boot into iOS, there is nothing you can do with it. It’s just an inert hunk of plastic and metal if it will not even turn on.


To login to any iCloud account otherwise, yes, you must know the AppleID and password. As with any online account, you must know the login ID and password to gain access to the account.
