Unlocking auction bought locked ipads and iphones
I buy ipads and iphones from auctions. Sometimes they are still either password protected or apple id locked. How can I have these devices unlocked? I have proof of purchase from the auction.

Hi BusyBeeLLC,
Thanks for posting. As we understand it, you have some devices protected by Activation Lock and passcodes and want to know how to remove those. Is that right? We're glad to see how we can help.
Regarding passcodes, you could try erasing using a computer: If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled
This resource has information about How to remove Activation Lock. Generally speaking, you would need to get in contact with the original owners of the devices in order to have them remove Activation Lock using their credentials. If you have any follow-up questions, we recommend contacting Apple here: Get Support
Take care.
