I did a factory reset on my iPhone 6s and I'm locked out of it? How do I figure out the activation lock?
I've been trying to figure this out for an hour now and came up with nothing.
Added (1). Yeah, I had bought another phone since I was locked out of my iPhone for a week with no idea how to get past it.
It can only be unlocked using the Apple ID and password that the phone is registered to and that put the lock on the phone in the first place. There's no reset that gets around it without the owner's Apple ID.
You're seeing iCloud lock. It is an anti-theft feature. You have an iCloud/Apple ID. In order to continue, you need to enter it. If you can't remember your password, you can reset it through Apple. They will send and an e-mail to your recovery e-mail account or answer your security questions. If you can't do either for whatever reason, you're out of luck.
You put in your Apple ID & password. That's it.
It's normally the same id and password as you use in the app store!

Activation lock can be reset in 3 ways 1./ sending recovery text message to number linked with this email

3./ Send recovery email to backup email set in the phone
Activation lock can't be removed by Apple as it has been set from customer and it is personal information
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
- Why did I get an activation lock in regards to 'Find my iPhone'? So yesterday I was in the middle of texting my friend until my phone switched off then like 5 seconds later the apple logo came up. Then I was told to enter my Apple ID and password etc and something to with find my iPhone. I can't remember the exact words but it also said "it may take a few minutes to activate your phone". I bought my iPhone from a second hand shop in 2014. So what did this mean?
- Is there anyway to get past an iPhone 7 Activation lock? Is there a way to bypass or hard reset? I found this iPhone fishing with no sign of it's owner. There was no sim card in it and it's iCloud locked.
