Part #1: Removing Apple ID by Contacting The Previous Owner
The Activation Lock was created to avoid theft. Part of this Activation Lock is the so-called Find My Feature. If this is enabled by the previous owner of the iOS device, Apple will intentionally store the serial number of the iPhone (or iPad, etc.), combined with its Apple ID. This will be stored within the database of Apple itself.
This can be removed by the Apple Store itself. Thus, one option would be to go to the technical support team or the Apple Service Store to remove it. However, you still have to prove that you actually own the device and the Apple ID associated with it. Most of the time, the service store will say they won’t have the ability to fix the problem to avoid security issues.
Thus in order to remove Apple ID from iPhone after restore, you must contact the former owner of the iOS device. The previous owner should have the ability to remove the Apple ID from the iPhone. This is done by putting their Activation Lock password or through iCloud.
These are the steps the former owner should implement to implement an iCloud reset and remove the Apple ID and give you full control of the device:
- Visit iCloud And Locate Device. First, they should go to iCloud.com. After that, they should sign into their iCloud account.
- 新闻通稿 查找iPhone. Within that page, click the label that says Find iPhone. Now at the upper part of the interface, click the label that says “所有设备”. This will show all the devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iWatches, linked to their iCloud account.
- 定位 The iPhone. In this case, you should scroll towards the list of all devices the former owner owns. He or she should locate the iPhone (in question) within it.
- Remove The Association To That Device. The next step will be to click “从帐户中删除” in order to disassociate the iPhone from the previous owner’s iCloud account.
- 重新启动 Device. Once that is done, you should shut the iPhone down. After that, you can turn it on the back again. Once it is open, you can set the iPhone up as a new device. After that, you will have full control of the iPhone with your own Apple ID, iCloud account, and passcodes.

But what if the previous owner just died or cannot be contacted? Then, it will definitely be harder for you. However, you can still contact the support team at Apple. You must have the documentation that will prove that the previous owner did sell the iPhone to you.
Once you have the documentation or the proof of sale (or ownership), you can contact Apple’s support page to request the resolution of the Activation Lock.
