Activation Lock, don’t remember Apple ID

I broke my phone last year, and instead of fixing I bought a new one. This year I fixed the broken phone. Of course I had to update it then restore it.

Turns back on and i see An activation lick screek. I can’t remember my Apple ID, or the iCloud email address it’s linked too!

have tried every email I have ever used and nothing works! How can I find out what the old email was? Or how can I by pass this activation lock and start new?!


Thank you for time and patience’s!

Use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you’re the iPhone’s original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
