Apple phones are regarded for having a powerful security system, which comes in handy when your iPhone is lost or stolen. However, the activation lock indicates that the iPhone is already tied to an Apple ID account, and you won’t be able to use it or make any changes until you log in to the account. Simply put, nothing can be done without a password. However, there are ways to bypass the activation lock on iPhone and iPad devices.

What is Activation Lock?
When your device falls into the wrong hands, Activation Lock can help you keep it safe and increase your chances of reclaiming it. Activation Lock will prevent them from reactivating the device without your permission, even if you delete it remotely. All you have to do now is remember your Apple ID and password and keep the “Find My” setting turned on.
Though many people have different motives for wanting to open the lock, the most prevalent ones are as follows:
[1] Forgotten password.
[2] Purchasing a locked used phone from a dealer.
