I purchased a new iPhone and added my iCloud I'd but I forgot my passcode as a result my iPhone is disabled.I used iTunes to recover it but it's showing activation lock because now I forgot my iCloud password which I changed recently.Now when I login to my I'd on forgot.apple.com it's showing wait for 13 days (I tried to recover it using my number but it's still not working).The website is showing that they will send me reset link when it's correct time 😡 (after 13 days and my iCloud is locked my iPhone is unusable what should I do?why it's not simple like google's recovery process?Why I have to wait 13 days? I have to take my online classes 😭

If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.
