How long does an activation lock reset take?

Did you request a removal through Apple by providing your information and proof of purchase from the original retailer? It could take a few weeks.

How to remove Activation Lock

It can take up to 30 days for a response. The department who handles activation lock requests are not phone advisors and will contact you back directly thorough the email you provided in the original request for removal. Calling does not speed up the process as the phone advisors do not handle these requests. Just check your email regularly for a response.

Activation Lock reset? There is no such thing. If you paid someone online to bypass Activation Lock then you were scammed.
