How to unlock Apple ID of my iPhone

I am original owner of Iphone 14

i cant do any thing to this phone now. I went to apple store they asked me send proof of purchase. Who will tell me the date of purchase? On tmobile purchase there is no IMEI written? If i send my ID to apple, wont be sufficient to unlock apple ID?

The "owner" according to Apple is the person who is signed in, unless you can prove otherwise using criteria that Apple sets. Read this article about how to remove Activation Lock --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support Unless you have the account information that set the lock, or can get the person to remove it, or the original receipt from Apple, or can demonstrate legal inheritance from a deceased owner, you cannot remove the lock; recycle the device.


From the very bottom of Apple Trade In - Apple :

"Does Apple offer recycling?

Yes. Apple Trade In lets you recycle any Apple device (including devices from Apple-owned brands) at any Apple Store and on Apple for free. That includes your batteries and old electronic products as well as free, on-demand packaging recycling for our commercial, education, and institutional customers. When we receive your device, it will be thoroughly inspected to determine if components can be recycled or reused. Whether recycled or reused, all activities relating to the processing of your device will be managed in an environmentally responsible way."
