I found an iphone 5, how to unlock it?
I found an iphone 5. Its locked, but me and my brother tried to format it. And we did it. When i turn it on, i choose my language and other, then the iphone need a sim card and need an icloud acount to unlock the iphone. Can you guys help me out
#1 - Did you think that someone else might want it BACK?
#2 - No way around the SIM card thing
#3 - If the previous owner does what they should have done and told their phone company of the loss, it can be traced or bricked. (made into an expensive paperweight.
Serious lack of common sense. It's bricked now and you won't even get a reward for tracing the owner and handing it back.
How foolish. You should have known someone with an iPhone would lock it. If you actually bothered to hand it back to the nearest customer service desk, there would have been an actual chance you'd get a reward for thinking about someone else and not stealing it for yourself.
Plus, it can be traced.
You can't unlock activation lock without the password, even after resetting the phone. This is a deliberate feature intended to keep people like you from using a phone you've stolen. Without the password, it's a paperweight. You may as well turn the phone in to the police.
You are now about to find out how secure iphones are. Since you have it on, the owner can now also see on the map exactly where his phone is located, you can't turn that feature off either.
You actually can get it to work… You have the internet at your fingertips, search
Nope.
That's iCloud Activation Lock working as it should. No way around that.
Call the previous owner and ask for them to remove it from there icloud i'm sorry there's no way in the world you going too bypass unless you guess there email and password correctly. Chance might be that it is stolen
Plug it in to a computer running iTunes and do a factory reset.
