iPhone 5s, iCloud lock.

[WockoLad]

Hey lads,

I wanna give my old iPhone 5s to my lil cuz and it turns out it is iCloud locked, I used an old business email for that Apple ID and forgot the password, and it is not even a valid email anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, It said I could unlock with a code but I forgot the code as well since i've had 2 phones since then...

I have heard rumours of places online that can do unlocks for a fee, but I would just presume that they're scams. Your best bet is to try and get Apple customer service to reset the Apple ID for you, but Apple customer service is terrible.

For some reason I doubt the story you gave here is true.
But I guess the best bet would be to just open a support ticket and make stuff up.
I got through FRP locks but haven't had time with iCloud lock yet, I presume it's probably near impossible or 10x harder than FRP

iCloud locks from my experience are impossible to get through. Apple does the locks at the hardware level and pretty much bricks the device. You can try talking to customer support but they were pretty strict on the policy for verifying ownership through a receipt at the least.

Pretty impossible unless you send the iPhone to India or some shit. I heard they can do things over there. I don’t think even Apple can get into these accounts, I would recommend trying to get into the iCloud account as best as you can.
