how to officially unlock icloud lock not have id and password

That’s not necessarily true. I locked myself out of one of my old iPhones, I think it was the 5. I’d decided to try an Android, so I didn’t use any of my Apple info for several months. When I decided I wanted to sell the phone I went to get my pictures off and couldn’t remember my passwords to anything. That was dumb on my part for not writing them down, but nevertheless, it happened. The phone was rendered completely useless because I couldn’t remember my password to unlock it nor my iTunes password. The email is used to create my iTunes account was one I no longer used so I couldn’t remember that either. I was simply SOL and it was still a relatively new product at the time. I don’t think the 6 was out yet. But I can assure you that it was NOT stolen, and I was the original owner. It was tied to my AT&T account even because I bought it through that. Apple needs to have some sort of procedure to unlock iPhones if you can prove you are the original owner at least.

I am having iphone 6s bought second hand and its locked to apple id that i dnt know id and password. Now tell me how can i unlock and use it please

How can i find previous or orignal owner for this phone sir? So that i can approach him to make it unlock

Yes there is a hardcore of posters who treat anyone who posts anything that they don't agree with as a personal insult, the truth does not seem to matter to them at all.

I have an iPhone that is our property. My daughter wants to use it. It is on my wifes account who has another IPhone. I have my wifes credentials but still I can not access the IPhone store or set it my daughters account. It say account is locked, but when we go through the unlock procedure my wife has to change her password. We try again and nothing is changed, we get the same procedure

\We wiped the Phone, but it stlll knows it is coupled to find my iPhone. It wants my wifes credentials. But now it says that account can not be used to unlock the Phone, (although the IPhone says that is the account to be used). It does NOT say how to solve it.

To assume people who have these problems have stolen Iphones is a big load of ********. The system that apple uses to protect the phones is broken somewhere.

I'm wondering why I can't activate an iPhone who doesn't have Find my iPhone on icloud anymore, but only "on board" (update from dfu)

Very cryptic post.

What does/doesn't happen?

Any messages? What's the exact message?

Hi Chris,

It's a 5s iPhone updated to 10.2.1 regularly. The message on display is the same when Find my iPhone is ON, but in any verification on the web, FMFiP results in OFF. There's no way to activate it.

No clue what you are suggesting, but Apple is not going to provide any conduit by which a previous registered owner of a device can be contacted by anyone regarding a stolen device (including Apple). This is not their business - they are in the business of selling hardware and software services, and are not in the business of being a middleman for lost or stolen devices. That's what the Find My iPhone service is for. The owner of the device can put a message on the device when it is lost or stolen providing contact information if they wish. If they do not choose to do that, why would Apple overrride that decision?

I have a unique problem that really requires a solution from Apple. My company provides reverse logistics and handles retail returns etc. One of our channels, which is a pawnbrokers send us volumes of iOS products, all of which have been legitimately purchased from users who have handed them over in-store for money. The Pawn broker take names, photo ID and proof of address from each person. They then run a checkmend report to ensure the phone is not stolen, or has any adverse info about it. The problem is that those selling them afterwards then report the phone stolen in order to commit insurance fraud to obtain a replacement phone free of charge, thus locking down the iOS product the pawnbroker then has. Most of the time, the details provided are false, or the person cannot be traced by those details, but the product is perfectly legitimate with an audit trail to prove it. How do we go about unlocking these devices, what mechanism is in place from Apple to unlock these perfectly functional and legitimately purchased items with proof of ownership?
