Reset Iphone

Hello Team


I forgot the appleId and Password that I used to configure my Iphone11. So is there a way to reset the iphone without this?

If this phone is actually Activation Locked, you would need to use the Apple ID that was used with it originally in order to restore it. If you are the owner, then you should know this. If you are not the original owner, you would need them to remove their Apple ID from the phone ... otherwise, it will be useless to you.

No. If you forgot your iPhone's security passcode, then you will have to restore the phone to regain access to it.
