Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally difficult to bypass. We can’t help, and Apple won’t.


This iPhone is indistinguishable from a lost or stolen device, if not actually lost or stolen.


Return it for a refund if the seller is still around, or recycle it.


If you acquired this used and the seller has disappeared as is all too common, you got scammed, and now own an expensive and useless brick that’s eventually headed for recycling.
