Q: how to unlock iphone 5s? forgot icloud id. i need help? imei:**************

Without the credentials of the previous owner, the phone is useless to you.  There is no way to bypass Activation Lock.

Neither Apple or anyone on these forums can help you with this.

Your phone is useless brick  without this id.

You need to contact the seller and ask him to remove this iPhone from his list of devices. Otherwise, your iPhone will be a useless brick.

is there any way to atleast recover apple id from phone,/ any software/ anything,/ any online service.............????

No, you have a paper weight if you can't get the previous owner to remove iCloud lock.

You can try to recover the Apple ID at FORGOT APPLE ID. The person whose ID is signed in would need to go to that link, and try to recover the ID, then answer their Security Questions. If they don't know the answers to the Security Questions they can contact Apple Support to have them reset:

ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT

But only the person whose ID is signed on can do this.

Best of luck,

No, there is nothing you can do.

I already told you...there is nothing you can do about it.  The phone is useless without those credentials.  Why is that so hard for you to understand?????
