There is a method for removing Activation Lock on the Web – but it requires you to sign into the same account that you would need to sign into on the phone itself. (For obvious reasons!)


If you are the original purchaser of this iPhone, and you have a receipt from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, clearly showing both your name and the phone's serial number, you could start an Activation Lock Support request.
