r/applehelp on Reddit: iPhone Activation Lock
May 16, 2025 -

Found a quick fix thanks for all your help! I’m going to switch his SIM card into an old phone so we can atleast get a text code from Apple to start his acct recovery process.

Hi all, Wondering if you can help. My brother in law got into a bad car accident recently and unfortunately he tried to get into his phone when he wasn’t able to see and it locked him out. On the Home Screen it says “iPhone unavailable” and only Emergency and Erase Phone buttons show.

This is the hard part. He doesn’t remember his email password so we can send a code there and he doesn’t remember his AppleID password.

Is there anything else we can do to get into his phone and get it working again?

I’ve tried everything. I’m assuming this won’t be possible but wanted to ask.

How to Bypass Activation Lock on iPad, iPhone & Mac
November 11, 2025 - With Activation Lock active, you must enter your iCloud password to erase or reactivate the device. Because of this, it’s sometimes called iCloud Activation Lock. The feature is designed to deter theft and protect your data if your iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or Apple Watch is lost or stolen, by ensuring that only you can reactivate and use the device.

October 6, 2025 - This puts Activation Lock in place. Users and admins can lock the screen, require a passcode, wipe data, and/or display a message urging return of the device. Most consoles also display a Find My map to show the last location of the device. An iPhone locked using Activation Lock will request valid user credentials and won’t function until those credentials are entered.

November 11, 2025 - Even if the criminals reset your device, the activation lock will still be there. Only someone with the user’s Apple ID credentials can unlock it. It’s a version of something called Factory Reset Protection (FRP) that the US mandated under the US Smart Phone Theft Prevention Act of 2015.
