It's quite common that we got iPhone from our friends,
but not so often that we are not able to unlock it.
For example if they forgot the passcode for the lock screen,
or lost the apple id with Find My iPhone enabled.
Of course we didn't expect things get so complicated.
In this tutorial we'll show you an easy way to unlock the phone without using the passcode and Apple ID.
Let's jump in!
First, let's remove the screen lock.
To do this, start iTunes on your computer,
Then plug your phone in and put it into recovery mode.
For iPhone X, is press and quickly release the volume up button,
then press and quickly release the volume down button,
then press and hold the side button till the connect to computer icon comes up.
Once detected, you'll get a message suggesting an update or restore,
we are going to select the restore,
then click Update and Restore to confirm,
agree to the terms and conditions,
it's downloading the firmware now, you can proceed with the restore once it completed.
Now that we see the Hello screen,
let's go ahead and set it up,
after connecting to a network, we should see a screen like this:
it's asking for the Apple ID and password,
if your friend forgot that too, then here comes the second part:
Bypass the Activation Lock,
The tool we are using here is 4MeKey.
I'll leave the link in the description below in case you want to download.
So once installed, attach your phone to the computer,
then hit the blue button on each screen till you get here,
it's saying we need a jailbreak here's a link to the tutorial,
a step-by-step guide on how to jailbreak an iPhone on windows.
Let's give it a shot,
First, download the two jailbreak tools,
once done, open rufus,
then insert an empty usb thumb drive into your computer,
now go back to rufus select the Checra1n ISO file.
Now we can start creating the bootable drive.
here we are going to choose the Write in DD image mode,
then hit ok for each pop-ups

when it boots up, hit the F12 key to enter the boot options,
Once in, select the usb storage device,
press enter to confirm.
Now wait for the checkra1n jailbreak wizard to show up,
OK, now that we are here,
it's saying iPhone X is not supported on iOS 14.2 at this point,
that's because we have one more step to go,
which is to go inside Option,
then check off the skip BPR check,
Once we've done it, go ahead and quit back,
now we can proceed by clicking on Start,
the device will be put in recovery mode first, hit next to confirm,
Once we are in recovery mode, click start,
and follow the instructions to enter DFU mode before the countdown is over,
For iPhone X, is press and hold both the power and volume down button for 4 seconds,
then release the power button while continue holding the volume down button for another 10 seconds,
Once we are in DFU mode, the jailbreak process will be reflected on the device.

Well done, now we are going to restart the computer,
and then launch 4MeKey to start over.
Like before, we click on each of the blue buttons,
This time we should see the device information confirmation screen and the Start remove button,
by clicking on it, 4MeKey will show you the magic.
[Music]
Well done, now it says the iCloud Activation lock has been removed successfully,
let's check it out.
We should see the data and privacy option,
which means the activation lock is no longer ahead our way.
Let's move on,
when we got to the Apple ID sign in option， make sure to skip it，
and proceed to the Home screen.
[Music]
Then in Settings, we should notice the Apple account has been signed out,
That's it!
