Hi mos128,

If you still remember your password, use that.

If you don't, contact your carrier

1. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone. Contact your carrier and request an unlock. Your account might need to meet requirements for unlocking. After you submit the request, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier to check the status of your unlock request.
2. After your carrier confirms that they unlocked your iPhone, follow the steps below. 

If you have a SIM card from a carrier other than your current carrier

Use these steps to finish unlocking your iPhone:

1. Remove your SIM card.
2. Insert the new SIM card. Your device will activate.

If you don't have another SIM card to use

Use these steps to finish unlocking your iPhone:

1. Back up your iPhone.
2. After you make a backup, erase your iPhone.
3. Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
