Check your web browser autofill entries, the Keychain, and other records, or use Apple's iForgot service, or contact their Account Security team, or if you're the unit's original owner, click here and submit an unlock request.

There is an Activation Lock that you will have to overcome during the setup of the iPhone. To remove that Activation Lock, you will have to enter the Apple ID and Password of the owner of the iPhone. You will not be able to use the iPhone without it.


If you forgot YOUR Apple ID and/or Password then:
