Use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you’re the iPhone’s original owner, supply Apple with its purchase receipt and ask them to remove the lock.


Most of the people on these boards are other customers and cannot remove the lock. To contact Apple, click here and pick a method, or go to an Apple Store if one's open nearby.
