What can i do if my apple ID associated with my iPhone are lost?

I just upgraded to iOS 7 and suddenly i couldn't activate it due a random Apple ID is locked to my iPhone is there any chance to get my iPhone back to life? I have no idea about the email its z***@hotmail.com what should i do in this situation?

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer your question.

This is the new safety feature of iOS 7, where if you have "Find My iPhone" feature on your iOS device. You will need to have that information to unbrick your phone. It is required to activate the phone once it has been erased.

If that email is your iTunes or iCloud account then you can go to iForgot.apple.com and have your password reset.

I'm not aware of any other way to activate your phone without having the correct log in information. You could try to take the phone back to iOS 6 as long as Apple is still signing the version on their servers. You can try to find the version for your iDevice on the Internet.

Good Luck with your activation.

Thank you for your time.

  • What five jobs are associated with creating iPhones (Apple device)? I'm doing a technology current event about the iPhone 5s and I need to name "5 jobs/careers that are associated with building or using this piece of technology" Help! And Please don't just put: "Apple Worker". I'm talking about maybe a software designer i don't know or a type of technician? I'm not good with this stuff help!
  • Lost iPhone 5s, Is sprint aware if your iPhone is in Lost Mode? I lost my iPhone 5s today. I enabled the lost mode in the phone and I'm currently tracking it. Does sprint know when a iPhone is in lost mode? Does it know if you lost your iPhone and your tracking it?
  • Is it possible to have 2 associated Apple ID or iCloud account on a single device? Okay so I bought a used or second hand iPhone 5 online. The iCloud account is cleared so I input mine. I decided to perform a hard reset or a restore via iTunes but I fear something might go wrong. So I'm asking, is it possible to have 2 associated Apple ID or iCloud account on a single device (I mean, does the iCloud account or Apple ID of the previous owner of the device is really gone)? Does my iPhone now recognizes my own iCloud account or Apple ID?
  • How to recover lost text messages on lost iphone 5? So I had to get a new phone because my last one was defective. And the sprint woman didn't mention to me about the iCloud backup. So I didn't back it up. I don't have that phone anymore and I have a new iphone. So I do I get those text messages back? Without using iCloud backup or computer
