How to Remove Activation Lock without Apple ID

If you forgot your old correct Apple ID and can't retrieve it on iOS devices, this will cause you some problems. For example, you can't sign out of it if you've logged in on one of your devices (go to Wi-Fi settings to check the Wi-Fi network first). Or you can't bypass Activation Lock without Apple ID on your iOS device. Or you got a second-hand iCloud locked iPhone with Apple ID signed in. This article will show you how to remove iCloud Activation Lock without Apple ID or how to remove Activation Lock without previous owner on Apple server.

Remove Activation Lock Without Apple ID via Apple Support

The only official and legal method to bypass iCloud activation lock without an Apple ID is through Apple Support. You should know something before submitting a request:

• Apple will only remove Activation Lock if you can prove you are the original owner of the device.
• Acceptable proof includes a valid purchase receipt or invoice showing the device's serial number or IMEI.
• Without this documentation, Apple will not unlock the device or bypass Activation Lock.

How to start an Activation Lock Support with Apple:

Step 1. Visit Apple's official support page for Activation Lock removal: https://al-support.apple.com/#/kbase

Step 2. Use the Activation Lock support request form to submit your proof of purchase and device details.

Step 3. Apple will verify your ownership and, if approved, turn off the Activation Lock from their servers.

If you forgot your Apple ID password or can't sign in, you can recover or reset it by visiting iforgot.apple.com. Enter your Apple ID email address or phone number. Follow the instructions to reset your password via email, security questions, or two-factor authentication.

Remove Activation Lock from iPhone With Previous Owner

If you need to remove Activation Lock from an iPhone when you don't have access to the previous owner's Apple ID, the easiest and official way is to contact the previous owner and ask them to:

Step 1. Sign in to iCloud.com with their Apple ID.

Step 2. Go to Find iPhone > All Devices and select the locked iPhone.

Step 3. Click Erase iPhone, then Remove from Account.

Once removed, Activation Lock will be lifted, and you can set up the device. This requires cooperation from the previous owner, but no sharing of their Apple account or password.
