The security of Apple devices has always been well known, and the Apple ID lock is an important measure to ensure user privacy and information security. However, sometimes we may encounter problems with the Apple ID lock, such as forgetting the password or purchasing second-hand devices that cannot be unlocked. So, is the Apple ID lock really unsolvable? This article will introduce the unlocking methods and precautions of Apple ID lock.
What is Apple ID lock?
Apple ID lock means that when your Apple device is set with the "Find My iPhone" function and the "Enable Lock" option is enabled, you must enter the correct Apple ID and password to enter the iOS system. This can protect your equipment from being stolen or used by others after being lost.
Whether the purchase voucher is complete is critical
The Apple ID lock is likely to be released, which can be divided into two cases. It is critical to see whether the purchase voucher is complete! If you are the original buyer and the purchase vouchers of Apple devices are complete, including invoices, product boxes, and warranty cards, congratulations. Apple ID locks can be removed by appealing.
If you are a buyer of second-hand equipment, you need to ensure that the second-hand equipment you buy comes from a trustworthy source. At the same time, you need to ensure that the purchase certificate of second-hand equipment is complete. If the purchase voucher is incomplete, you can't remove the Apple ID lock by appealing. Therefore, whether the purchase voucher is complete is crucial.
Exclusive ID purchase
When Apple ID is locked and inaccessible, you can directly purchase a new exclusive ID account, use it directly, save a lot of time and cost for a small amount of money, it is very safe, and you can change your password after purchase!
Specific steps of grievance unlocking
The following materials shall be prepared for appeal unlocking: equipment purchase certificate, personal identity certificate, equipment IMEI number, contact information, etc. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Open Apple's official website and select "Unlock your Apple ID" on the "Retrieve your Apple ID password" page.
2. Enter your device IMEI number and contact information.
3. The system will verify your complaint information. If it is approved, you will receive an email to confirm that your ID has been unlocked.
In the process of appeal unlocking, you need to provide accurate and complete materials. If your materials are incomplete or inaccurate, your appeal may be rejected. Therefore, before unlocking the appeal, you need to read the appeal requirements carefully and prepare all necessary materials.
Risk of third-party unlocking method
If you are not the original buyer, or the purchase voucher is incomplete, then the appeal unlocking is not feasible. At this time, you may seek a third-party Apple ID lock unlocking service. However, we should be alert to the risks of these services.
First of all, these services may be illegal because they have not been authorized by Apple, so their operations may violate the law. Secondly, these services are likely to install malware or steal your device information, resulting in threats to your privacy and security. Finally, these services do not guarantee successful unlocking, and you may waste money and time.
Therefore, we do not recommend using a third-party Apple ID lock unlocking service. If you encounter problems with the Apple ID lock, you should first try to appeal unlocking. If the appeal unlocking is not feasible, you should contact Apple customer service and ask them for other feasible unlocking methods.
