Way 3. How to Remove iPhone Activation Lock without Password by Configuring DNS
This method uses the iOS bugs to accomplish the iPhone activation lock removal without a password. The idea behind it is to fool the iPhone into communicating with a fake activation server that responses with 'the device is unlocked'. It won't work on newer iOS versions like iOS 14 or later since the bug has been fixed. In fact, it may only work on iDevices running iOS 8 to iOS 10.
Before you start the operation, you should know that it may not always work on an iPhone, and you may run the risk of exposing all of your usernames and passwords to an unknown third-party DNS supplier. More than that, changing the DNS server will also stop you from accessing some iPhone features, and tech novices will feel a bit complicated to handle.
If you are up for the challenge, kick off the steps below:
1. Restart your iPhone or iPad and set it as a new device.
2. When you reach the Choose Wi-Fi Network option, connect your device to a stable Wi-Fi network, and tap the circled i icon next to the network name to open more Wi-Fi settings.
3. Click the Configure DNS option, choose Manual, and tap the Add Server button.
4. Pick and enter the server address of your location from the following values:
- USA: 104.154.51.7
- Europe: 104.155.28.90
- Asia: 104.155.220.58
- Australia and Oceania: 35.189.47.23
- Africa and other locations: 78.109.17.60
5. Tap Save. Then, back to the last screen and enable the Ask to Join Networks option. That's it!
Way 4. How to Get Out of Activation Lock without Password via Apple Support
If you would not use the third-party tool and other ways would not work on your iPhone, you can contact the Apple support team and ask them to help you get rid of the iCloud activation lock from your device remotely. Apple support team may require you to show the purchasing document to verify that you are the device owner. If you cannot prove yourself to be the owner, Apple will refuse to help you.
Moreover, Apple will also inspect whether the iPhone has been reported stolen or missing. If yes, Apple won't assist you in bypassing the iCloud activation lock. Of course, you can take along the receipt or other ownership documentation to the nearby Apple Customer Center for help.
Generally, if you get the iPhone from the official channel, Apple will charge nothing for the iCloud activation lock removal. If you buy a second-hand iPhone online, you can also contact the seller to remove the iCloud activation lock.
Way 5. How to Completely Remove iCloud Activation Lock via Contacting Your Carrier
Everyone iPhone has an IMEI number. Usually, you will find the IMEI number from the SIM tray or activation screen. When the iCloud activation lock disables your iPhone, you can call your carrier associated with the IMEI code and take advice from him. To know which carrier your iPhone belongs to, you can check with the IMEI number on a professional IMEI checking website.

- Try to contact the previous iPhone owner to verify the authenticity of the contact information.
