Is it possible to do something?

Hello, I have a company iphone, with icloud, the password of which I do not know

because it was made by someone who has already lef,before i start work. In our attempts to guess it,

my colleagues and I blocked the apple id and now we cannot recover the account

because the recovery methods that have been set are an email that we have no idea

what it is and secret questions that we also have no way of knowing the answers to.


Earlier iPhone models

Getting into a Company-Owned Phone:

Unless this iPhone can be unlocked, this iPhone is a brick, and will never be able to be used again. Being a company-owned phone, if you have a proof of purchase, you might be able to get it unlocked. Set up a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store.

i know it was a stupid question but i don`t use iphones and i doesn`t know for sure what to do, so it is the way i`m thinking i need to proceed. Thank you for your answer.

It’s not a stupid question :)


Trash It:

From here, I recommend you properly dispose of this, perhaps taking it to your local Apple Store or to a retailer who recycles electronics. You need to lock it. So, maybe put a passcode on it > enter it incorrectly a bunch of times > and it will be locked from then on out.

Is it possible to do something?
