How to remove activation lock from its owner?

The prompt says, the location of this iphone can be seen by its owner j*****@icloud.com. I am the owner of the iphone and it’s my apple id. How do I unlock it?


I have two iphones. Iphone 7 and Iphone XS Max. I am using one icloud account for both.

If that is not your email it's displaying -

Activation lock is a security protocol that can't be bypassed. Only the person it is locked to can unlock it.

If you bought this from someone and it came locked, try to get your money back, you will never be able to use the phone.
