4 Ways to Remove iCloud Lock on iPhone 6-17 Without Risks

"iPhone Locked to Owner" means it is iCloud-locked. This often happens if a used iPhone wasn’t fully erased, if the owner forgot their Apple account, or if incorrect passwords were entered too many times. So what can you do in this situation? This article will explain what an iPhone bloqueado pelo iCloud is and show you safe ways to deal with it.

Part 1. iPhone Locked with iCloud: What Does It Mean?

What is iCloud Lock?

iCloud Lock, aka Activation Lock, is Apple's security feature designed for protecting lost or stolen devices – but it does way more than that. When the original owner turns on Find My iPhone and signs in with their Apple ID, the phone gets locked to that Apple account. It will ask for the original Apple ID and password whenever someone, such as a second-hand buyer, tries to wake it or set it up again. Many buyers get stuck on this, unable to use the phone.

How to check if an iPhone is iCloud-locked?

During Setup: Turn on the phone. If it asks for an Apple ID and password and won’t let you continue, it's probably iCloud-locked.

Check in Settings: Open Settings, tap on the name at the very top, and then tap Find My. If the Find My iPhone option is turned on, then the iPhone is locked.

Part 4. How to Unlock an iCloud-locked iPhone as the Original Owner

With Apple ID & Password via Find My

Unlocking is a breeze when you know your Apple ID and password. Remember what an original owner does to help unlock a second-hand iPhone in Part 1? Go through the steps yourself: go to iCloud.com/find and remove your iPhone from the account.

Apple Account Forgotten: Submit Proof of Purchase to Apple Support

If you only lost the password, just reset your Apple password on the official webpage and then sign in on iCloud.com. But what if you don't even know your ID? Don't worry, you still get a chance to solve the problem by submitting your proof of purchase to Apple.

Passo 1

Prepare the proof. The best proof is the original sales receipt. You'll also need to provide your name, the date of purchase, the total price paid, the phone's Serial Number, and IMEI. A reliable proof will highly increase the chance of success for your request.

Go to this official Apple page: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support. Choose For a personally owned device.
