is there anyway if you guys can reset the linked acount to mine or anything ?

Nope. This is not possible.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required

If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Turn it over to the police. It doesn't belong to you. "waiting for the ownere to do something" for 2 months, without turning it over to the proper authorities, makes you guilty of a crime commonly known as "theft by finding" in most jurisdictions.

Without having the find my iphone activation code (apple id password) there is nothing that can be done with the device.

Makes for an interesting paperweight. IF you stole the device do the right thing.

ACTIVATION LOCK - HOW TO

So - you have an iPhone or iPad but unfortunately it's stuck at the iCloud activation screen? And you don't remember your iCloud password and unable to restore your iCloud account - which means you are unable to use your device. You may think about selling your iPhone "on the cheap" to get some money back because it's better than keeping an unusable iPhone.

Don't give up - because I may help you to remove the iCloud account from your iPhone / iPad for free (Someone called it "Unlock iCloud").

FIRST ADVICE : UNLOCK YOUR IPHONE / IPOD / IPAD BY YOURSELF ONLY !!!

Do not use any Third Party Software or any  Third Party Brokers ( only if  they have been  officially authorized by Apple) , otherwise you will simply waste one month of your time and you may also lose  your money ...

WHAT YOU NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE BY YOURSELF ( ANY IPHONE / IPOD / IPAD)  :

1. You need the Email Address

***The Email address associated with your Apple ID ( the one associated with Icloud)

***If you don't remeber your Email , you may try to "Guess It" through Apple wizzard procedure :

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201354

***If Apple Wizzard  does not work  for you , contact me through this forum , and I will help you to find your  linked Apple ID Email for free :-)

2. Access your  Email Address linked to Locked Icloud

You will need to get access to your email address , in order to get full control of your Apple ID ( Manage Apple ID , Change Email , Change Password , etc)

3.  Access Icloud

If you remeber your Apple ID Password , use it to access your  Icloud.com account , otherwise , ask apple to reset your Password through Email Verification

4.Find My Iphone App

Once you get access to your Icloud.com website , go to "Find My Iphone" App and use it to "Unlink" the device you need to set up  from the list. Select "All Device" , then select the device you need to set up with another Icloud Account.

If you followed this procedure by the letter , you should be good to go  :-)

Please STOP posting irrelevant responses. If you had bothered to read the original post, you would know that the phone is stolen. i.e. it does NOT belong to the OP and is not locked with their account.

You keep pasting the same crap into every thread you can find that has anything remotely to do with Activation lock and some that don't, many of which, like this one, are years old.
