In Desperate Need of Help.
Okay, so to keep things brief and to the point, I am trying to regain access to an iPhone 4S running on the latest firmware version. By regain access, I mean removing the activation lock from the phone itself. Now, keep in mind this device was NOT lost or stolen. It has been sitting for about 4 months and the owner no longer remembered the passcode lock. I figured that by restoring the phones firmware completely, it would then allow us to get into the phone and boy was I wrong. Now, the phone (which was referred to online as a 'brick' and useless) basically cannot be used because it cannot get past the activation lock screen. The person also cannot access their apple account.
Note that this device DOES NOT have a SIM card slot. I have searched google for about four days looking for a solution to this problem. I refuse to accept the fact that this phone can never be used again because I KNOW that there is a fix for this.
Please help me if you have any information on this issue!
