Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally difficult to bypass.


We can’t help bypass it, and — absent proof of ownership — Apple won’t


You will need to either regain access to the Apple Account, or provide proof of ownership sufficient to convince Apple of your ownership. That’s usually the original purchase receipt from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller.


Without that, recycle the iPhone, as it is not now and will never be useful.
