Part 1: Basic information about iCloud lock

What does iCloud lock mean?

Part of the normal process of setting up a new iPhone is to register the phone to an Apple ID. Each phone has a unique number, an IMEI. Also, to fully use the services offered by Apple, each user needs to have an Apple ID, which is an iTunes account. When setting up a new phone, you should enable 'Find My iPhone.' When you do that, the unique details are logged to the Apple account, and the phone is referred to as being iCloud locked. Your account details are linked to the iPhone and stored on Apple's servers; therefore, iCloud is locked. If you do not know the details of the account, the email, and the password used to register the new phone, it is a problem, and you may find it useful to know how to bypass the iCloud activation lock.

What does this mean for you?

If you have an iCloud locked iPhone, which you do not know the account details for, you can still use it. Many websites will tell you that you cannot use it at all, but you can still use it as long as the phone isn't passcode protected. However, you cannot turn off Find My iPhone on the device, you cannot erase the device, and you cannot reactivate the phone to set it up with your details. Most significantly, if the phone is connected to the internet, it is traceable, and the person whose account it is registered to can, at any time, wipe the phone clean and lock you out of it in any way at all. The iPhone is not much use then unless you can find a way to unlock iCloud activation.

Now that you know everything you need to know about an iCloud locked iPhone, read on to find out how to unlock an iCloud locked iPhone.

Part 4: How to unlock iCloud locked iPhone (Free Solution)

If you're the original user of the iPhone, and you think it's unfair to shell out extra money to unlock an iPhone that should already be unlocked, then you can visit the Apple store. You may have forgotten your iCloud details, which include your Apple ID or your password. To get your details back, you can visit the Apple store and follow the steps to retrieve your details. If you bought an iPhone from a seller, endeavor to ask them if it's a second-hand iPhone and get the right details from the user.

This might seem like an easy solution. However, it is quite difficult and time-consuming. Apple is extremely difficult about its security. As such, you'll have to be the original owner of the iPhone, and you'll need to have all your details if you want to be able to carry out this method. You can try to go about this method, but the chances are strong that you'll give up soon, in which case you should revisit some of the methods mentioned earlier.

In the end

As you can see, there are a lot of options with which to unlock iCloud locked iPhone. There is a quick method, which is temporary. There is a permanent method, which is easy and safe. Finally, there's also the free method, but that is extremely complicated.

You can feel free to choose the most suitable method for you, but my recommendation is that you use Dr.Fone - Screen Unlock (iOS) because in that case, a third party takes over the unlock process and all you have to do is wait a while. However, whatever you choose, do let us know down in the comments section. We'd love to hear from you!
