Marking your own post as Solved may prevent others from trying to help because they think you have fixed your problem.

If you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them remove the device from their account, the device is worthless. Apple won't unlock it for you.

Если вы не можете связаться с предыдущим владельцем, чей идентификатор находится на устройстве, и попросить его удалить устройство из своей учетной записи, устройство бесполезно. Apple не разблокирует его для вас.
