I’m trying to set up my brothers iPhone 8 because the other one he had broke. When we tried to log into his Apple ID to transfer all his apps and data we must’ve entered the wrong passcode to many times and now we are locked out. On the phone it says they will send an email to his Apple ID email but we have no way to see that email since his Apple ID is locked. What can we do?
