Iphone Activation Lock

So i forgot my passcode and my Apple ID and password. Is there any way to get my phone back? I changed my passcode and now the new passcode is not working so I had to reset my phone. What can I do?

Added (1). It's an Iphone 8

If you don't remember your Apple ID/iCloud account password, you can reset it at:
Enter your iCloud email address and go through the steps to verify your identity to get access to your account. If you don't remember your security questions or have access to the recovery email that you specified (or should have specified), then you're out of luck.

iCloud lock is an anti-theft tool that would be pretty useless if you could easily bypass it.

Go to the apple store and explain the situation

  • Who can tell me how to get past that activation lock on iPhone 5s? I have proof of purchase to an iPhone 5s I purchased from eBay. Apple informed me that they or my phone provider could bypass the activation lock and that is why I purchased the phone for a better price than buying brand new. Then neither the Apple store nor AT&T could help me with my problem. The seller hasn't been much of a help and will not give me the information I need to get past the activation lock, is there another way?
  • My iPhone 3GS is stuck on the Activation Lock Mode. How do I fix it? My iPhone I bought a few months ago was jailbroken/unlocked but when I wanted to restore the iPhone and remove the jailbreak and such, it got stuck on the Activation Screen. Can anyone help me fix this? I honestly have no clue on what to do. It is not in service or anything, it is just stuck. Answers needed As soon as possible, thank you.
  • Is there any possible way to get past the activation lock on an iPhone 5? I bought an iPhone from my friends friend. Well he failed to tell me that I needed his username or password to actually use the phone, and I have no contact with this person. Is there any way to get past this or am I out of 80$?
