Blocking icloud. How to unlock iPhone if you forgot your passcode? Apple ID details on the previous owner

Let's start with what is Activation Lock?

After the release of the operating system for the iPhone - iOS 7, Apple introduced a new security feature activation lock, which allows you to check whether Activation Lock is enabled or disabled on your iPhone. It serves to protect the iPhone and all the data of its owner in case of theft or loss. When the function is activated, the device cannot be used without entering the details of the iCloud account - in other words, the Apple ID.

You can check the status of the activation lock here Activation Lock . After entering the IMEI or serial number of the iPhone, which can be found in the "About device" section of the main settings of the smartphone, as well as verification letters and numbers, you will know whether this feature is enabled or not.

An iPhone linked to an Apple ID can only be activated by the owner after a factory reset or update by entering the details of the last active account. When buying an iPhone on the Internet on "eBay" or from hands, many users do not think about checking whether the iPhone is unlinked from the previous owner's account.

Therefore, when buying an iPhone from your hands, you need to make sure that the previous owner deleted his iCloud account. Go to the menu "Settings" - "General" - "Reset", select "Erase content and settings", then you need to confirm the reset. If after the reset you see a window for entering the Apple ID and password, the device is linked to the Apple ID and iCloud of the owner of the iPhone or the Find My iPhone function is enabled. In this case, this phone is not untethered from iCloud and it is not recommended to buy it. Ask the seller to confirm the Activation lock by entering an e-mail and password, then disable the function in the phone settings. And try resetting again. Otherwise, when the reset occurred without asking for a password, the device is not tied to an Apple ID and you can buy it.

What is iCloud and Apple id?

iCloud is an information store from Apple that allows users to access their music, photos, documents and other files from any device, and also saves iPhone and iPad data backups, helps the owner find lost devices, and allows you to share photos with other people.

Identifier Apple ID is the email address used as the login name for almost all Apple services. It lets you use iCloud to store content, buy songs, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store, and download apps from the App Store.

The problem of bypassing the iCloud activation lock has become a sadness for users who unsuccessfully purchased an iPhone from their hands. You need to know that neither flashing nor resetting the settings will help remove the iPhone's binding to. Therefore, we decided to write general recommendations on how to unlock iCloud for Apple phones that were not officially purchased. The problem with many people who buy iPhones out of hand is that they are trying to save a thousand rubles on very important things. You need to buy a used iPhone with a complete set, which includes the iPhone itself, a headset (headphones with a microphone), a USB cable, a charger (block), a box with a sticker on which the IMEI and serial number match the data in the phone and preferably a commercial receipt. In the event that the seller cannot offer you this, then the likelihood that your iPhone will become an unusable “brick” in the coming days is very high!

How to remove Activation Lock and change Apple ID?

1 .To unbind the Apple ID from the previous owner of the phone, you need to write an official letter to Apple Support, add a photo of your iPhone, as well as stickers from the box and sales receipt. In the event that you have a complete set with a box and a check, proceed to the next step 3 “Composing a letter”. If you don't have them, you need to make them yourself!

2 .We need a box with an iPhone in any case. Firstly, you need to scan the stickers from the box from the phone (you need to find the box from the iPhone model you need) and, based on these layouts, make stickers with your iPhone data (IMEI and serial number). At Apple, the Serial No. is the most looked at. We do not recommend saving, make stickers on high-quality paper and a good printer.

3 .Now we need to make a receipt for the purchase of the iPhone. It can be made in a cash register emulator and printed on a printer, but remember that you may be held liable for forging a check. You can try to write the first letter without a check, indicating that the previous owner did not save it. So, what should be indicated in our check: iPhone model (iPhone 6S 16 Gb Space Gray), IMEI (must contain 15 digits 353313071931976) and serial number (FK8QGSF0GRY5)

4 .After you have prepared the box and receipt, which confirm that you are the owner of the iPhone, you need to take a photo. Put your iPhone on the table with the back panel up, the box with the sticker and the receipt, take a photo so that all the components fit in one shot.

5 .We write a letter to e-mail: . If you receive an answer that your iPhone is locked by the Find My iPhone function (Apple regards this as stolen), in this case, write to the mail [email protected]

6 .In the column subject of the letter we write Case 22153744. activation lock. Purchase Validation. (Case 22153744 is the number of your first email to Apple Support) How do I recognize Case? We go to the Apple Support website in Russia. Now you need to fill out the contact form, click "Start", then select your device. You need to install the "Request for service and troubleshooting", where you need to choose - it is impossible to set or unlock the phone. Next, select "schedule a call", indicating the serial number of the iPhone (FK8QGSF0GRY5), first name, last name, phone number and your e-mail. And in a couple of minutes you will receive a letter with the assigned Case number, and you may also receive a call.

7 .An example of a letter to Apple support to unbind Activation Lock and replace Apple id.

Hello. case22153744 . I have a problem with activation my iPhone 6S. I have bought the iPhone in a shop one week ago and update iOS 11.1 yesterday.

I attach photos of the box and the sales receipt.

Best Regards,

8 .The answer will come within 5-10 days. The response will say that your problem has been assigned a number in the system and we need to wait for a letter from Apple with something like this:

Also Not recommended do a full reset "Erase content and settings" because the program iRemoveTool does not remove the device from the Apple server completely! After a hard reset, the previous owner's Apple id will reappear in iCloud settings.

In the iPhone and iPad, so ours lay idle on the shelf. The other day I took out a dusty tablet and tried to install Periscope, to which the App Store issued a message about blocking my account:

"Your account has been disabled. This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Click Reset to reset your account.

If you received the same notification, then the unlocking process is quite simple, of course, if you remember your backup E-mail (additionally specified during Apple ID registration) or answers to security questions (which were also selected at the time of ID registration). In general, what to do? I press the "Reset" button and try to unlock the account, which for some reason was blocked for security reasons.

After pressing the button, the iPad (or iPhone) redirects us to the Apple website, where it is proposed to change or reset the Apple ID password, apparently this is necessary to unlock it. Enter your Apple ID in the box and click Next.

There are two ways to unlock and enable ID, knowing the add. mailbox or by answering security questions correctly. I choose a faster method - Authentication by e-mail. Further.

A message with instructions for unlocking has been sent. Now we go to our mailbox, just do not confuse it with the one you used as your Apple ID, you need to check an additional email box, it is also called Another emergency e-mail. Some users entered it not during registration, but during the forced procedure described here -. If you forgot the emergency mail, then follow the link, you may remember if you didn’t register the Apple ID yourself (which is highly undesirable), then ask the one who helped you with registration.

The additional mailbox already contains a letter with a link to start unlocking Apple ID. Click the link - Reset password or unlock Apple ID.

Again we get to the Apple website, where it is proposed to simply Unblock, or reset the password and Unblock (without changing the previous password). We chose which is simpler, simple - Unlock. Further.

Enter our Apple ID password and click Next.

The account has been unlocked. Apple ID unlocked. Now you can log in.

I'm trying to download the app on my iPad again. Now, instead of a message from a disabled account, the App Store asks you to enter payment information, if you have not linked a payment card to an Apple ID, then simply select - No, and click on the top right - Done. Hooray! Applications are again installed on both the iPad tablet and the iPhone.

If you are reading this article, then you have probably blocked your iPhone. And about how to unlock it, how much it costs, is it possible to do it, with what programs to do it, what to do if you forgot the password from iCloud or iPhone?! We will cover all this in this article. You have come to the exact place you were looking for.

This problem is not new and it has affected a huge number of users, in fairness I would like to say that in some cases unlocking is not entirely legal.

There can be a huge number of reasons for a possible blocking, but one problem unites all these reasons, and this problem is called “Where can I get my Apple ID password”, or “if I forgot my password, what to do”. We will combine all these reasons into one and consider solutions to the problem “how to open a locked iphone 6”.

Lock your iPhone with iCloud Activation Lock. This program was released not so long ago, it began to function with iOS7 operating systems. This program is designed to reduce the risks of theft or loss by the user of the device.

If the owner of the phone turns on the protection function, then no one will be able to use the phone without iCloud data, so no one will know how to unlock the iPhone. I would like to note that only the direct owner of the iPhone can return the settings to the basic state, since you will need a password when resetting the settings.

Sometimes there are cases when sellers simply forget to tell the buyer the username and password, and when the message is displayed, enter the username and password, the buyer is in a state of misunderstanding. What password?! What's the login?! But first things first. First, let's restore access to iCloud.

To begin with, I would like to tell you one very unpleasant news. No matter how hard you try to “get around” this program, unfortunately you will not succeed. Therefore, we will go through iCloud account recovery.

In a new window, you must enter the Apple ID previously used on the phone, this number must be with you, if you do not have it, then look for the former owner using the Internet, he has access to the phone.

The next step on the screen will be the option to restore access to the phone. We enter your mail, click send and wait for your letter, in which a link should come with which you can reset your password.

In fact, there are a lot of reasons for blocking, and below we will consider several of them.

Account hacking

More and more dissatisfied consumers who have their account hacked turn to our workshop, the reason for this most often lies with the consumer himself, since he is protected by weak passwords in the mail, and already through the mail our conscientious and almighty Russian hackers hack into your mail with programs like Brute Force find a letter from Apple there, and then you understand ...

Why are they doing this!? Well, let's say they stole your ID and what of it!? So, with the help of new technology, you can block your phone from a distance, haven't you forgotten yet!? Our hackers block your phone via iCloud and you receive a letter offering to barter a purely symbolic amount of 500-1000 rubles for your ID.

What to do if this has already happened? First you need to recover your password, if your mail has already been hacked, we try to recover your password, usually there is such an opportunity with each registration.

If everything worked out for you and you went into your mail, change the password again, but to a more complex one. After recovering the mail, we are trying to restore the previously lost access to the Apple ID.

Attention! In the saddest case, not a single letter will come to your mail. But it’s too early to get upset, we take “feet in hand” and contact Apple support, the sooner the better.

Apple ID details on the previous owner

There are such cases. You can’t access iCloud, maybe your friend set up your phone for a long time or even “better”, you paid for the iCloud setup service in the store, but they simply didn’t tell you the data.

First, let's figure out how it can turn out for you.

A person who knows your username and password can easily control your phone remotely, namely

• Everything that is synchronized with the iCloud cloud becomes available to the person who has your username and password.
• Your location can be tracked and found anywhere in the world.
• Your phone can simply be cleaned and all this will happen without your participation and remotely
• The device essentially becomes uncontrollable in your hands

The first thing we need to do is log out of this account, but unfortunately it's not so easy, you need the previous owner anyway, otherwise you won't be able to log out of your iCloud account.

No call center will help you, all this technology is built on that, do you want to restore it? Give me a password? No password? Restore! No mail? Maybe it's not your phone?

iCloud Locked iPhone

So, we imagine the situation, we are walking through the park, and on our way there is a brand new gadget from Apple products, we pick it up and try to unlock it, but unfortunately this does not work and in most cases people immediately start to figure out how to unlock it. Below I will present three options for the development of the actions of this joyful event.

I think the most correct solution is to find the previous owner of this gadget, sometimes information about the owner is displayed on the monitor screen with a request to call back, but unfortunately this is rare.

In our time, anything can happen, suppose the phone you found was stolen by someone and simply thrown out of uselessness. So we immediately recall our valiant police and all kinds of special services. Your location is easy to calculate, even when the phone is turned off. The phone will successfully return to its owner, and you will have an unpleasant conversation with the policemen. They won’t put you in jail for this, but a bunch of explanatory notes about “how you found the phone in the park late in the evening of the eighth” and a huge waste of precious time will be provided to you.

Since you still won’t be able to use a phone with full functionality. The second solution is dismantle the cell phone for spare parts and sell them. Do you smell car theft?!

Well, the third solution is to use the world wide web to solve this problem. There are a huge number of different videos on YouTube with chic names. Unfortunately, the names remain the names, and I did not find any practical advice on this program.

Of course, these tips do something, for example, slightly increase the functionality of the gadget in blocking mode, but I have not yet met what we need.

Conclusion

Of course, this news may upset many users and readers, but still I have to say it. Bypassing the iCloud Activation Lock program in different ways is simply impossible. You can surf a huge bunch of sites and spend a huge amount of time, but it is impossible to hack iCloud Activation Lock.

Detailed instructions from w3bsit3-dns.com. What you need to activate to the status of the device in the iPod: First you need to open the disk with Windows installed on your computer in Explorer and follow the path C:WindowsSystem32driversetc. In the etc folder, find the hosts text file and remove the "read-only" attribute. Then go to the security tab and set write permissions for user groups and administrators. Now you can edit the hosts file. You can open it with regular notepad or any text editor. Erase everything that is written there and stupidly write XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX albert.apple.com, where X is the server number that the hackers from the Doulci group will indicate to us. no crosses, bars and other things are not needed! Only ip number and server name. Have you written? Click close (on the cross) and the question "save changes?" answer with consent. This is so that the txt extension is not attached to the file. Probably it is not necessary to keep exactly the original form of hosts, but I do it this way. Whether the server of our hackers is working can be seen by going to the site http://doulci.net and opening the top overview tab. In addition, you can follow the tweets of Doulci team members: minacrisOfficial, AquaXetine, MerrukTechnolog No need to ask about the start time. The servers are not being turned on according to the schedule yet. It can earn both at 2 am and at 6 am. If you're not ready to wait, then read no further. Now we need a SIM card with a Pin code. You can hold the SIM card in the SIM card of some old phone and turn on the PIN request in the settings. For new SIM cards, PIN 0000. For those bought a long time ago, the PIN is indicated in the envelope. No PIN! So: 1. We prepared to quickly enter the server specified to us into the hosts file. The hosts itself is open with a notepad and we double-checked that it saves the changes. Those. we do not close it and are ready to enter the required ip albert.apple.com at any moment 2. Our phone is ready to be activated. Those. it is on, we entered the PIN code, selected the language and country, connected it via Wi-Fi and pressed back. Those. The device is now on the Wi-Fi network selection. 3. So we turned on the server on the doulci.net website in the Overview tab and the icon from OFF moved to ON (turned green) and below we were given the server address. For example 192.168.000.001 albert.apple.com We extract and copy 192.168.000.001 albert.apple.com to the hosts file. This is the only entry in the entire file. There is no more sign. (This is how it is for me. Maybe someone left the old one). Click on the cross to close hosts. The computer asks for confirmation of the changes and we agree. Next, launch iTunes and connect the iPhone with a cord. iTunes should ask for consent to connect to the server and we agree. Next, a start page should appear in iTunes asking you to set up your iPhone? Select "like new" and continue on the phone. He asks about turning on iCloud services and location services. Think for yourself whether you need it or not. You can then turn it on or off. 4. Now disconnect your iPhone from your computer and reboot. After the prompt to enter the pin, enter and as soon as you see that the phone has written that the pin is correct, immediately remove the tray. A message pops up insert a SIM card - insert it back. And repeat insert-remove the sim until you see not just "unlock sim card", but an option with two ways: "unlock" and next to "OK".)) That's it))) Click on OK. Do not be afraid after, if you need to remove the SIM card or reboot. By playing with PIN and OK, you can now display the device as many times as you like, until you reset the device. Wrote like this. as I did. Perhaps somewhere and something superfluous. This is how I activated my device and a friend's device. Then, for the sake of experiment, I turned on find my phone on my wife's honest phone and also hacked it.

Locking your Apple ID is an important frontier in the security of your mobile device and personal data. However, sometimes it happens that the precaution works against you and brings a lot of inconvenience. What to do in this case - we will describe below.

If Apple ID is blocked: the official way

If your Apple ID is closed, chances are you've entered your password or verification information incorrectly many times. In such cases, the built-in protection system is triggered, which blocks access to the device. The corresponding message will appear on the screen. To restore access to the device, you should immediately go to the address on the special page of the Apple website and enter the current reset password. If you do not remember the password, or have made several unsuccessful attempts to pick it up, the service will also be blocked until the next day. After some time, you can try again. Here you can also reset your password, regain access through a trusted device or using a phone number. Keep in mind that iOs only sends three specific types of ID blocking messages to the user. If the notification text is different, please contact Customer Support for assistance.

Working way to unlock Apple ID

If for some reason the official method does not work or cannot be used, try the approach described below. Unfortunately, it only works on iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0. Moreover, calling from the device will not work, the maximum you will get is “iPod Touch.” You can try it in the following way:

• turn on the smartphone;
• reach the blocking window;
• press “emergency call”, then enter the number 112 and make a call;
• immediately press the button to lock the screen once;
• click “unblock”, click “contacts”, create an empty one and click on “Home” three times;
• select an empty contact, after - “block”, select again and block again, repeat until the final block;
• we use it as a player and watch the video under the article if something is not clear.

How to unlock other devices?

At the moment, there is practically no working cure. You can try to convince technical support that the device is really yours if you have a box with documents on hand, as well as payment receipts. Most of the people who offer to unlock an Apple ID for money, also on a prepaid basis, are scammers who are best not to mess with. If you do not have a check, you can try to “draw” it through special resources, for example http://sickw.com/ The correct data for different countries will also be indicated there. To avoid blocking through malicious interference, do not give anyone access to your mailbox, create complex passwords and store them in safe places.

You don't have to be an attacker to see the "Activation Lock" message. You can quite honestly buy second-hand Apple equipment and stumble upon a lock when making an update. Therefore, before purchasing used equipment, be sure to familiarize yourself with the possible “pitfalls” that will accompany the transaction.
