Need Help with Erasing iPhone XR Error-7005

I have an iPhone XR and I am trying to erase it and put it to another account. I am getting a (AK Authentication error Error-7005) The other message is: Verification Failed There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server. I am connecting to the internet through my wifi. I know that I am using the correct password to log out of the current Apple ID because we reset it because I thought that was the problem but I am still getting the same message. Help is there a way to hard reset it?

VPN frequently creates more problems than it solves, and there are very few situations where using VPN is a benefit. There are two legitimate purposes for using VPN:


  • To allow access to a private network such as a school or business when you are not on site. 
  • To allow access outside of a country with a repressive government that has restricted Internet access. (This has become more important in the world we live in)


Any other use is risky, and can lead to problems like this.
