How To Unlock ICloud Lock, Remove Or Bypass ICloud Activation Lock On IOS 10 IPhone

What is the iCloud Account Activation Lock, So you just bought a used iPhone but when you try to set it up it keeps on asking for the iCloud login details of the previous owner. You have no idea what they are and you can’t contact them to find out. Even if you can track them down they are unlikely to give you their iCloud password as it gives you access to their private stuff. This makes your iPhone an unusable brick. You have just encountered the iCloud activation lock. If you want to check the status of the device then you need to go here and type in the IMEI code. In future it is best to request this number from the seller before you buy it to make sure the item has not been stolen and locked by the previous owner. How does iCloud lock work, If the original owner of your iPhone turned on a feature called ‘Find My iPhone‘ then it will automatically link their iCloud account to the iPhone.

The idea is to help them find their device if it is lost or stolen. If the worst comes to the worst and they can’t get their iPhone back then they can use ‘Find My iPhone’ to erase the contents of the phone and lock it permanently. Obviously the idea behind this is to deter theft which is a great idea. However, if you buy a used iPhone, iPad or even Apple Watch and the previous owner forgot to remove it from their ‘Find My iPhone’ account then it is locked to the old owners iCloud account. This means you can’t use it. So the security on iCloud may disable the iPhone you bought in good faith. Order Now and Contact with your iPhone IMEI Number. There are 2 options available to you if you end up with an iCloud lock. If you bypass iCloud then you can use your iPhone to do a variety of things but not using the standard apps you would expect from an iPhone.
