Hi sallema193,


I think you're referring to Activation Lock.

If you forgot your Apple ID or password, you can try resetting them.

Apple ID: If you forgot your Apple ID email address or phone number

Password: If you forgot your Apple ID password


If you have proof of purchase documentation, you can submit an Activation Lock support ticket.


See here: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

If you meant something else, let me know.

Good luck!
