The only way to bypass activation lock is the enter the Apple ID and Password which was used to set up the phone in the first place. Do you not know the Apple ID and Password and if not why? Did you buy a used iPhone which came activation locked? If you did, the only person who can help you is whoever set up the phone first. If you don't know them or can't find them, you've more than likely been scammed and no one can help you. Apple won't help you unless you are the original buyer and you can show the original purchase receipt which clearly shows the phone's serial number on it.


So what is the real history of this phone?

Activation lock likely means you bought that iPhone 12 used from an individual or from a third party site and it was not properly prepared for resale. You also may have purchased a stolen device. As pointed out, unless you have the Apple Account and Password it was originally set up with you are up the creek without a paddle. The phone is useless to you. Recycle it properly if you can’t get your money back.

I can’t find any information about the phone
just teach me how to bypass the iCloud
thank you
Note: not a stolen iPhone

We already told you what you need to do. Enter the correct Apple ID (almost always your email address) and Password (what you used when you set up the phone). We can't teach how to bypass activation lock. It is a very strong theft deterrent system, which is only bypassed with the correct Apple ID and Password. And if you don't them, you're only hope is to present the original purchase receipt to Apple, who with the right proof of ownership, will help you. But without it, won't.
