How to remove icloud lock where you don't know the previous owner is
how do you unlink a I pad that you don't know who is the previous owner was from there account so you can set it up to your account and have it work for you?
then there should be a time limit put there cause some people sells things to pawn shops for a little bit of cash and forget to go and reclaim the item so the pawn shop sells it as it is or they don't want it any more so they sell it for what they can get and screw up other people in doing it that way

the iphone has been restored when I received it
Ask eBay for a refund. If you can't contact the person who set the lock, you won't be able to get the device activated, and Apple won't unlock that device for you.

I have a second hand iPhone 4S and it's locked to someone's Apple ID . I don't know the previous owner so I can't ask them to erase this device. So what is the sollution?
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

i bought and iphone but i can't activate it because i don't have the previous owner icloud account and don't know either how and where to contact him so what sould i do
Find a way to contact whoever you bought it from. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. The phone is probably stolen. There is NO WAY past the activation lock without the credentials for the Apple ID that was used to lock it.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi All,
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for a password. Then I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but how do I find the network administrator.Whomever provides the wi-fi.

What can I do to active my new iPhone 5s if I don't have the previous owner apple ID because I don't know him.
So the trick here is at what point are you getting stuck? You'll know whether or not you can use the device after you've restored it in iTunes. If the previous owner had not removed their iCloud account (or turned off Find My iPhone) before you do this, then the phone is forced into Activation Lock (which you'll likely see after restoring the device, upon setting it up). If this is the case, you either HAVE to contact the previous owner and have them help you type in their password or remove the phone from their iCloud account by logging into iCloud.com, or if you can provide valid proof of purchase you may be able to get support through AppleCare or an Apple Store. Otherwise, see if you can return it! Good luck!

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you. -
I currently own an iphone 5s buy from a foreign icloud but it is locked so I can not use and I do not know the previous owner who I can not contact them.
iphone 5s have IMEI: **** gray TA & T's network

I need help so I can use the
thanks so much for what
<Edited By Host>Apple hasn't done anything. This is a security feature that you did not check to see had been properly de-activated before buying the phone.
If there was a back door, it would be useless as a security feature. -
I purchased an used macbook and I don't know the old owners password, how can I reset it?
I purchased an used macbook and I don't know the old owners password, how can I reset it?
Well, it is part of the Mac. So you were shortchanged.
Call AppleCare and ask them to send you a replacement set. They will ask for the serial number and model number to sure they are give you the correct set. They will charge you a nomibnal fee for shipping and handling.

MacBook won't let me let me install mountain lion because i don't have the previous owner's password how do i get around that
What model year it the Mac you have? If it is a Late 2011 or newer model then you can first reinstall the Original version of OS X that came on it by using the Online Internet Recovery system. Hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r key at startup and hold them down until you see a Spinning Globe in the center of the screen. From the screen that comes up use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as one partition aand when that is done close DU and Select Reinstall Mac OS X.
If it is older then a late 2011 model then you will need the Original System disks for that Mac. These can be order from Apple for a small charge. -
I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?
Unfortunately, you can't. There's no way around it. You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again. If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

The phone is useless unless you can contact the previous owner. There is nothing anyone can do to help. If you are able to contact, the following contains instructions on what they need to do: iCloud: Activation Lock
