When my cousin received her brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max, she got a new phone number and unfortunately used her Gmail account to set up her iCloud account. Her Gmail account was set up using her old phone number that she doesn't have anymore. Now that she needs to reset her iPhone, Apple wants to send her a verification code through that old phone. After several failed attempts to reset it, she told me, her iPhone 13 Pro Max is showing the message "iPhone locked to owner". However, she does remember her iCloud password.


She came to me with her case for solution. Is there anyone in our community to help me help her out, plz?

to regain access to her account she must go to iforgot.apple.com and log in there with her username and password. There she can reset her trusted phone number


If the iphone remains activation locked after this procedure see this



If she is the original owner of the iPhone she can start  start an Activation Lock support request.
