If you are not the original owner of the iPhone and just received it then you can only remove the Activation Lock with right Apple ID and Password. Without this information, that iPhone will be useless to you. Contact the original owner for the required information to remove the Activation Lock.


If you are the original owner of this iPhone and need help removing Activation Lock and have proof of purchase documentation, you can 👉 start an Activation Lock support request.
