My used iphone 5c is I cloud locked. How can I unlock the phone to use it?

How can unlock an icloud locked iPhone when I don't know the previous owners information?

If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

    I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    It's a security risk to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

  • My phone was run over. It still works but the screen is smashed and I cannot unlock the phone from find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos?  It was not backed up in iCloud. I

    My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

  • How can i unlock the network so i can use a uk sim on a norwegen iphone 3gs?

    i need to unlock a 3gs so i can use a uk sim any ideas ???

    Who said anything about having to fly all the way back to Norway?
    To repeat, only the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or submit the unlock request to Apple on the owner's request. She must contact the carrier in Norway - by telephone will do to find out if the carrier provides this and if she has met whatever the carrier's requirements are for the iPhone being officially unlocked. If so, the carrier in Norway will contact Apple for the official unlocking, which will be done with iTunes.
    No one at the Apple Shop there can help with this.

    You cannot unlock an iPhone, only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  Contact your carrier for assistance with unlocking.

  • Icloud sent me an email notice confirming that my mac was locked, how can i unlock it

    ICloud sent me an email confirming that my mac desktop computer was locked, how can i unlock it

    It would be useful to know how it happened once things get back to normal, because they will.
    Have you tried an adminstrator password?  If you have alllowed it to it will let you in through your Apple ID (Preferences Users and Groups).
    Booting up from a recovery disk will allow you to get in...I think.
    I once had a situation where I was asked for a pw which did not exist and I pressed "enter" and it worked.

    Did you sign up for a cellular service plan when you purchased the iPhone?
    You'll probably have to contact the carrier.
    Take a look at this Apple doc for all the details -> iPhone: About unlocking
