Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it.


Return the iPhone to the seller for assistance or refund.


If purchased new from Apple or Apple authorized iPhone reseller,

take proof of puchase showing serial number of the iPhone and the

iPhone to the nearest Apple store where they may assist you. Make

a genius appointment to avoid delay.

If purchased using debit card, credit card, or check, your financial

institution should be able to find proof of the transaction. If paid cash,

there is little hope.


You could also ask the retailer from which you purchased the iPhone

for a duplicate copy of the transaction. Knowing the approximate date

of purchase will speed up things. If paid for with cash, retailer will

not be able to find the transaction.
