Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support

Apple will not unlock it for you. The activation lock is meant to be a theft deterrent system so they will not turn it off for just anyone or any reason.


There is a RUMOR that if you have the original receipt and take that into an apple store they may choose to wipe the device for you, but it’s not a documented procedure and something each manager can do at their discretion. Basically if you can prove you are the legitimate owner they may wipe it to allow you to use the device, but they will not allow you to unlock it to access info.
