I have several iphones that were in abandoned storage units I won in an auction. I can't get into them due to a passcode or apple id/pw needed. Is there a way for me to get them unlocked?

I have several iphones and they all have a passcode and or need the apple id. I am not the original owner as I got them out of abandoned storage units I win in auctions.

Windows, Windows 6

Short answer:


Most likely “no.”


Longer answer:


They most likely have an intentional theft-deterrent activated which is designed to make the devices worthless.


There’s no workaround as that would completely defeat the intent.
