Okay so I had a phone with another iCloud email on it, and I was gonna give it to a friend. I reset the phone but i forgot my old iCloud password. I tried many times and it got locked, and I have no way to unlock it. It's been locked for 11 months now, will it ever unlock by itself or do I have to do something?
Thanks!
