Way 3: Remove iCloud Lock without Password Using Online Services. Searching the Internet for iCloud Activation Lock, you will find many online services claim to do iCloud Activation Lock removal for free.

They first jailbreak your iPhone and then unlock it.My father bought a used iPhone 7 Plus from OLX (it is an Indian classified site similar to Craigslist) at a throw away price. But if you are using an older iPhone (iPhone 5s to iPhone X), then there are some paid third-party paid applications that can help you remove the icloud activation lock. The moral of the story is to return it if its not yours.Edit: It is possible to unlock an Activation Locked device with a GSX account as stated by someone in another answer, but most people who claim to have one are either scammers, or extremely overpriced to the point that its cheaper to buy a new device (or both).It is next to impossible to remove activation lock from the latest iPhones such as iPhone 12, iPhone 11, etc. The owner rewarded me $200 for returning it. I called that number and returned the phone. I once bought an Activation Locked iPhone X on eBay for parts and once I turned it on it had a phone number to call.

It was complicated, but I managed it somehow. I wouldn’t say that the whole process was quite easy. I downloaded it on my Macbook Pro (it is available for windows too), and it first asked me to jailbreak my iPhone 7 Plus and then removed the lock from my iPhone. Anyway, I paid $30 for the app. I tried but I couldn’t find that post on Reddit. Someone recommended it on the Reddit.
It is also not possible to use the cellular data on my iPhone 7 Plus. I cannot login to iCloud to backup my data. I can no longer make phone calls and send text messages/imessages. Now here’s what I cannot do: I can also download the apps over Wifi and make audio and videos calls using apps like WhatsApp messenger.
You iPhone won’t function as normal even if you manage to unlock it someone. In a nutshell, it is extremely difficult to remove the icloud activation lock from an iOS device without the password. I guess it is still better than nothing. After a factory reset, it will be locked again and I have to use the same tool to unlock it.In short, I’m using it as an iPod touch.
