I heard fakepass replicates passcode so I installed it and it literally tells me to go set it up from where I’m not supposed to. I think. Won’t setting it up from there crash the jailbreak? i don’t know I’m confused. I cant find anything on this either
So I have two apple accounts. Apple account 1 is my old one, connected to an email I no longer have access to and don't know the password to either. Apple account 2 is the one I currently use, I know the password to it and do access the email. Both apple accounts are connected to the same phone number that I no longer have access to either because I'm in a different country since I've had it.
I need to recover apple account 1's password because my old iPhone X has an activation lock tied to it. I wanted to give sell it or give it to a family member but I don't want to sell it activation locked. It's cruel.
I tried the iforgot apple site but it refuses to recover an account i no longer have the access to email or number, which is fair, but is there no way i could somehow prove that i am the owner of it since I have a new apple account with the same number?
I have also tried requesting activation lock removal. thrice. all rejected, and third one even said they won't review any more requests on this phone I think.
what can I do? is there any way to contact apple and explain to them all this??
so i was trying all this time to get in this iphone using the apple account password, been communicating with the owner to reset their password because they had no idea what it was, and turns out its not even the right account for this iphone. im so tired of this mess, it was exhausting trying to reset the password for this and i dont want to go through it again.
is there any other way to get in the iphone or find the password? the hackt1vator site wont open for me and i also want to be able to use a passcode. not being able to call and stuff i dont mind so much ill just try to keep my other phone around which has my sim in i dont know. ive already sent in to apple a request with a receipt but i dont know if theyll accept it.
it is an iphone x, ios 15-16
okay, so I was given an iPhone X by a family member who is in a different country. said family member doesn't know her apple ID password, and the iPhone has activation lock. stay with me here.
she has the iPhone 17 pro max, on the latest iOS. I don't know what happened, this is my first time actually with an iPhone, but based on tutorials I saw and have read, the activation lock would've easily been removed if she went on settings, then to her account, to findmy, and removed the iPhone, but when she went there, there was no list of devices. instead, the devices showed up at the very bottom when she opened her apple account in settings. the iPhone X was NOT there, which confuses me.
she told me she had received an email from apple that someone was trying to get in said iPhone X and stuff, that it had a link where she opened it, verified her identity and basically approved of activation lock being removed from the iPhone X. then she told me that it was scheduled to be removed in six days, which is supposed to be today, after I used a friend's iPhone to get in apple support and used the 'Help Someone Else' option.
I want to wait just a few hours, see if it's just supposed to unlock later today but I doubt that. I've emailed Apple Support twice requesting for removal of the activation lock, one of which was denied because there's no receipt of the iPhone being bought. How is my aunt supposed to have a receipt from 2018? I told them every other information I knew, I gave them my aunt's email and number tied to the apple id and even verified them when I was asked to. The other request hasn't had an answer.
im lost. i tried rebooting the iPhone a few times, and the hello message kinda glitches together with the lock as the picture ive attached..
why won't we just reset her password? she is too afraid to lose access on her accounts / get them blocked etc etc she has very little skill with technology, and since she's in a different country, won't trust herself to do anything, even with my guidance.
it's the first time I'm using an apple product, so far it hasn't been a pleasant experience, I only got this because both my last phones broke and I currently don't have the money to buy a brand new one. if anyone can help me id appreciate it a ton
English is not my first language, so forgive any mistakes I make!
Last year, my aunt offered me to go pick up her iPhone XS from a repair store, as my phone had been getting really worn out. I would only have to pay 25 EUR and be good to go. My aunt is in a different country, so she was unable to get it herself, and she wanted me to have the iPhone anyway. I've never had an iPhone before, and was always a bit opposed to them. I still am a fair amount, but I do like the older models. I did postpone picking up the phone though.
Time-skip to now, my old phone broke, so it was time for a replacement. I decided to just go pay that 25 EUR and not 200 to get a new whole ass phone. Not even mentioning all the trouble I went through to get it, since I was lucky the repair store had said phone after all this time, I try to get in the phone and it has.. activation lock. 'No biggie' I think. 'I will just text my aunt to get her apple account codes!'. She doesn't remember her password, OR the passcode to the phone. Which I didn't mind. I was completely open to helping her reset password, or simply, remove the phone from her FindMy.
But then came the hard part. I tried texting her once daily, asking when she was free to call so I could guide her. The lack of responses and proper communication started making my patience thin out. I sent voice messages, a 15 second clip showing how to remove a device from a FindMy. 15. seconds. And it's not like she doesn't have a device signed into that apple account, she has the newest iPhone, and its signed in to her account.
I tell my mother about it, because that's her sister. My mom calls her, and my aunt says she'll call me later. She never did. She always says she'll call me later, and never does. It is like she's purposely testing my patience.
I've been texting her daily at least once, almost begging for a two minute call so we can get this done. I know it could be so easy to just get a new phone myself, but I do not have that kind of money right now, and neither did I pay 25 EUR to get an unusable phone.
And look, I get it, life gets busy, work gets difficult, but removing the device from her FindMy is a less-than-a-minute thing. She could at least text me properly.
Tonight was when my patience snapped. I tried using a friend's iPhone to reset the password through the Apple Support app. She only had to send me the code that was sent to her email or SMS. I started spam texting her and spam calling, to which she responded that she's not at home, and said 'I'll go check out the code now.'. 15 minutes later, she hasn't sent anything. I told her it might've come either as email or as SMS, because I asked for a code to be sent at both, to which she replies back with... a thumbs up emoji. I tell her I can resend the code. An hour later, I'm still left on delivered.
I KNOW that this has probably turned annoying on her side, and I'm like a thorn on her side that won't go away, but it is such a small thing that I am asking for, to which I offered assistance with multiple times. Am I the asshole?
