Hello romik,


"Unlock" is very general. There's multiple kinds of locking on devices. Click on the links below to find instructions on how to deal with your specific situation:


1) iCloud: Activation Lock - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 - This is a security feature so only legitimate (i.e., not stolen) redistribution of devices is possible. See: Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - https://support.apple.com/HT201441 - If an activation lock was put on a device, only the owner of the account that applied the lock can remove it. Get them to remove it or return the item for a refund.


2) Device lock: "If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled" click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT204306


3) Carrier lock: Read this link on "How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier" - http://support.apple.com/HT201328 - Only some carriers offer the ability to unlock iPhone for use on any carrier. Follow the instructions in this article to unlock your iPhone.

I am a user like you. I do not work for Apple. There is nothing I can do about your accounts or devices other than offer advice. I am not clear on what you mean by iCloud Lock. There isn't such a thing so you must mean one of the others, but which I do not know.


Please do not post your IMEI. Apple does not use IMEI numbers. Your IMEI is considered private information you should not post for the world to see and I have to keep requesting the hosts edit your posts to remove it.
