How To Bypass iCloud Activation Lock On iPhone/iPad

In case you’re having trouble figuring out how to bypass the Activation Lock on your iPhone or iPad, don’t feel bad it’s meant to be difficult to achieve.

The activation Lock is an iOS feature that has probably done more to prevent iPhone and iPad from been stolen as a security measure. But once locked, it’s nearly impossible to use the iPhone or iPad without an authorized Apple ID and password. This means that the device can’t be erased, reset, or otherwise modified to get it to work.

However, this can become a problem to you if you somehow find yourself with an Activation Locked device. One of the most common reason this happens is that you’ve bought or inherited an iPhone or iPad that came locked, and the original owner failed to unlock it for you.

Although, there are only two practical remedies: Either you bring the Apple ID and password, or you have sufficient proof of ownership, you might be able to get Apple Support to do it for you.
