You cannot. There is no way to legitimately remove Activation Lock without the Apple ID and password used to lock it rod original proof of purchase from Apple air an authorized reseller. It's an anti-theft feature. it is designed precisely to stop others from using stolen or lost iPhones.


Without the original user's Apple ID and Password there is no way to remove it. Sorry. That "logic board" can never be used again.
