Remove Apple ID from iPhone After Restore - Get Help from Owner

If you own the Apple ID yourself, then it would be easy to remove Apple ID from iPhone after restore. But if the Apple ID belongs to someone else and you don’t have the Apple ID password, also can't verify Apple ID?
In such a situation, there are two options you can try.

1.    If the former owner is close by.

If the previous owner of the device is close to you or live not far from you, you can ask them for help. What they need to do is to simply enter their own Apple ID and the password on the Activation Lock Screen. Once they are logged in, he/she should immediately remove the device from their account.

What if the device isn’t erased? In case you see the passcode screen and that happens, you should ask the previous owner to unlock the device and open the Menu tab and go to Settings> General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Once this is done, they will still need to reenter their Apple ID and the password too.  Also make sure that they have signed out the Apple ID on the device.

2.    If the previous owner isn’t with you.

In case you aren’t with the owner for any known reason, you can contact them to remotely remove the Apple ID on the device. Once you’ve been able to contact them, they will need to follow these steps to help you with it.

Step 1: Sign in to iCloud using their own Apple ID.
Step 2: Next, go to the Find My iPhone feature on the device.
Step 3: Select All devices that displayed at the top of your screen.
Step 4: Choose the device that you’d like to remove from iCloud.
Step 5: You should also click the Erase (device) if need be.
Step 6: The Final step is to click on the “Remove from Account”.

Once the previous owner is able to remove the device from their own account, you should turn off the iPhone and turn it back on to start the set-up process.

Even though there are tons of ways to remove Apple ID from iPhone after restore, using the iMyFone LockWiper is your best bet for fast removal if you don’t know the password of it.
