Hi
We bought this phone from a store, but unfortunately we didn't pay attention that it has Apple ID on it, and after resetting the device, it was locked, and when we asked for the Apple ID information, the store said that it didn't have the information, and that's why this phone is unusable. Please help and remove iCloud and Apple ID lock so that we can use the phone.
Thank you for your kindness
