Same answer.


Again, the situation you’re describing is indistinguishable from a lost or stolen device.


No Apple ID, no access, no removal of Activation Lock.


If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support


Without access to that Apple ID, your options are a direct discussion with Apple, either to resolve whatever locked the Apple ID and to then open that path, or a request to clear Activation Lock on the devices and which usually involves original purchase receipts and matching photo ID.

I don’t mean without that Apple ID

i remember my Apple ID and password too but when iam logging it say your Apple ID is locked for security reasons And to unlock it I have to answer the security question and I don’t remember the answer

my 2 devices are linked to this Apple ID iam wondering if I can do the activation lock after the restore by taping that Apple ID and password without answering the security question to reactivate those devices
